The store referred to is called BMV on Edward St.

Most of the other used bookstores will not carry tech books - they
cannot ensure currency, so they don't buy them.

Factory Direct has reduced-cost books, as do some of the other computer
stores on College.

If you know what you are looking for, post that - I know I have a number
of books that I could donate if they were of use.  I have also given
several books to the Linux Caffe, so I know that they had some useful
stuff at one point.

If you have needy people, look for existing programs and report those to
the list - if I could donate things to somewhere I might do so, and
others might as well.  If there are no existing programs, put out a call
for what you need.  I know I have books and tech that are not fully
utilized that I would donate, and I am probably not alone.
