The current issue of Instigatorzine — an Art and Literature magazine based in Jersey City — carries an article by Jenna Kildosher about Jersey City Free books:
“…
Jersey City Free Books is exactly what it says: free books for anyone who walks in. The concept started out as a sort of book swap on a single shelf. Anthony continued the practice of the bagel store the burned down in late 2006 and had discontinued the swap when it was rebuilt. Since then the number of books have outgrown that shelf. They’ve spread onto nearly every surface of Anthony’s shop, grown stacks high and filled boxes upon boxes. When the weather permits, he stays late and displays them outside for passers-by to discover.

Available starting on 09/5/13 — many hundreds of volumes with a literary perspective

Someone with a great love of books wants to help Jersey City by giving many hundreds of titles carefully collected over the course of three decades. The group has a literary focus — most are Fiction or Criticism — but Graphic Art, History, Philosophy and Theology also are represented. Of particular value are the back issues of literary magazines and journals, Poetry, Gettysburg Review, Georgia Review, and many others.

If at home I wasn’t worried about an avalanche of books already, I’d be very tempted to keep all of these fascinating titles myself. Actually, even at the risk of being buried alive by books, the temptation still is great!

This fine group of books will be available Jersey City Free Books starting on Thursday, 9/5. Thousands of books are always available every afternoon except Sunday. A complete schedule is available at the Web Site.
