The Pan Am Games are in Toronto! Husband M is all excited, there are 41 countries here from July 10 - 26! The opening ceremonies were held last night.
So I bought this used book from Amazon the other day. Then I looked inside the back cover as per the photo...it is a hardcover library book! I wonder how this came to be? I bought the book for about $8 plus postage of about $7.
Well I did some googling and it is likely to be perfectly legitimate. I am expecting another book I bought for 1c plus about $7 postage, it is about a week late, I hope it gets here.

Looks like a good read, and the fact that its a library book is certainly mysterious.
Amazon sells used books here too, as well as new ones. Valerie
Those games sound like a lot of fun :)
Bying an old book for 1c and 7$ postage
sounds a bit nut to me ;)
Happy reading and a
happy and sunny weekend to you Christine!

That's a great idea!!! :)
I've never heard of those games before
It must be crazy busy in Toronto! It's fantastic for tourism and local businesses.
Libraries often dump their books that are outdated or that they have numerous copies.Someone must have picked up that one and then decided to sell it. I buy my used books from Powells as I have no desire to do business with amazon.
I love used books!!
Enjoy the games!
I tend to buy e-books for my Kindle.
I think the seller is supposed to tell you if it's a former library book, I think they say ex libris... I don't collect books for their value to sell but for their readability, so I think I'd be okay with it as long as there wasn't any damage to the text.
I've bought used books from the library that they were getting rid of. I'm sure it's possible that it's what was being sold by Amazon. I haven't bought a hard cover in a long time. I've been reading everything on my Kindle.
Yikes on the shipping fees.
