Hi Sharon,
In Northampton there is a store called “The Most Marvellous Place to Shop”. It is a sort of shabby-chic place selling antiques, object d’art etc. As well as all their own stuff, a considerable amount of space is handed over to concessions. There is a cafe, a hairdresser, lots of card sellers and such like. Also, there is a considerable amount of space given over to books. If you had a place like this near to yourself, could you not take some space in exchange for half any returns (or something along those lines). I suppose anything is better than throwing them in the bin!
I remember reading that Richard Booth also had the same issues as you have down on Hay on Wye (i.e. he never wanted to throw a book away), hence the birth of his “honesty bookshops”.
Kind regards,
Ross.
