It seems there’s a bit of a controversy burning in Kansas City: Tom Wayne, the man who’s been running Prospero’s Books for the past ten years is sick and tired of the apathy being shown by the reading public.
When he began to realize none of the approximately 20,000 tomes in his inventory were selling, he tried to give them to local libraries and thrift stores, all of whom reported not to have room for these books.
The article points to the fact that while some of the titles in Wayne’s collection are obscure, many of the 20,000 texts are best sellers.
Now that he’s straightened out his burning permit, Mr. Wayne (Tom not Bruce) will be burning books in protest on a monthly basis.
A book club I belong to is trying to save the remaining texts and distribute them to those who are interested. They’ve started a petition to convince Tom Wayne to release the books to them.
I hate the thought of all of those charred pages, but you’ve got to love this guy’s activism.
