\nThe books displayed in the park are collected
\nas part of the \u201cBooks We Don\u2019t Want to Throw Away\u201d project,
\nled by Value Books, a company based in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture,
\nspecializing in buying and selling second-hand books.<\/p>\n
\nAbout half of these books are assigned a purchase price and delivered
\nto new readers through online sales.
\nHowever, the remaining half, regardless of their content,

\nand demand in the second-hand book market and many are inevitably recycled.<\/p>\n
\nIf a book gains meaning for the first time when it resonates with someone\u2019s interest,
