Beyond discussing individual books and sets found unused in most libraries we discuss issues of why the books were purchased and why they go unused. We hope this episode will provide listeners with some insights into how to avoid making mistakes in building their libraries, challenge them to read more, and motivate some to finally get around to reading books that they have put off reading for years.
