Yes and no. The vendor is supposed to rip the cover off & return just
that to get credit w/o shipping the entire book / magazine back to the
publisher. But he's supposed to destroy the rest. To give it away would
violate his agreement with the publisher / distributor. It's a form of
theft.

Well then, if they won't give the old ones away, I guess that poor old
Sir whats-his-name-this-week will have to steal a new copy.
