It's a fun idea for a library.

Less good for a bookstore, as it'll almost always be trash they can't give away.

Fuck those prices. You want me to play Russian roulette with my fiction? Sure, I’m a gambling man. But I expect a decent discount.

Edit: … on second look count me right out. by category looks to be all romance and young adult type stuff. Russian roulette fails to be fun when all the chambers are loaded.

Replying to destinationlalaland (#679,811)

Our local library did this, but with pretty wrapping papers and the info on little gift tags where you would write someone's name. They had a hanful from each genre, and also it was a Library, so it was free and you can just return it whenever you want if you don't like it.
