Low-toxin books (read carefully!) (Ann Arbor Northwest Side)

*If you are simply seeking books, please ask about the others we have, that are more suitable for conventional-product households.*

Photos represent only a portion of the scores of books we have to part with. Please message directly to express your genre interests, or request a list of titles.

Books are easily contaminated with the increasingly toxic chemicals found in everyday products for things like laundry, general cleaning, air "freshening," lawn care, and body care. These can cause all sorts of health problems, many of which can go undetected for a long time. If your household uses conventional products, getting low-toxin books won't do much good, because the toxins from the products will soon get into the paper. Since books cannot be washed, even "a little" contamination usually means that they are contaminated permanently.

Whether or not you are chemically sensitive, if your household uses only non-toxic products and are committed to working to keep the books useable for everyone, please don't be shy about taking as many as you want! In messaging with your interest, please indicate that you are specifically seeking low-toxin books for this purpose.
