spotted at the Dollar Store - piles of McTurtle's memoir,"The Long Game"

what does it mean if a book ends up there, anyway? Maybe the Humane Society could use some as cage liners; caution: reading the liners could be hazardous to your health

They come out in hardback, then when the paperback version is published, unsold hardbacks are returned to the publisher. The unsold hardbacks are then returned as discounted bargain books at regular bookstores. If the books don't sell as bargain books, they are returned to the publisher then usually end up in dollar stores or other such outlets.

The true problem piles from McTurtle are the ones he leaves in the halls and back rooms of the US Government - the S**T that he's been leaving for the citizens as favors for the 1%!
