Paul Drake head of the Antiquarian Books section at Better World Books
I was lucky enough to meet Paul Drake, who at the time was manager of the Antiquarian book section at Better World Books. One of the things that Better World Books does is buys large collections from libraries. They send some of these books to reading programs around the world and then sell the rest on the internet. A percentage of the profits made from these sales go to funding theses reading programs.
It is a massive operation. They have pallet loads of books, fork lifts to move them around and a large faction to sort, sell and mail the books. An eye opening experience.

This place is amazing it holds over 2 million books.
They do everything big here!
