Prices between 0.50€ and 2€
Natacha Cartier explains that the prices are low because the funds are donated to the parents’ association of the school from all over the world, but also because it is the interest of this kind of clearance sale: “The idea is to be in contact with the public and to promote the circular economy, so that as many books as possible can be recovered by the public and that we have access to culture for all.” The choice and the good weather will also undoubtedly have contributed to the success of the operation which was a first edition.
