Random books from the collection:

This catalog documents 5,000 books that were deaccessioned from libraries in the most literate cities of
25 U.S. states in 2006.

Deaccessioning, or weeding, is a vital library process that allows librarians to replace outdated, inaccurate, unpopular and/or physically damaged books with newer, more pertinent materials.

The purpose of this catalog is to highlight the obscure, trivial and misleading so as to better understand the relevant, the beautiful and the true.
