It won't let me post links but one person said that that  they donated over 800 books and DVD's and is very angry because    they thought the donations were going to help members of the community  access goods at a small price, spreading joy and the love of a good book rummage. 

Many many similar posts like that one.
Did anyone go to it?

[size=1]I did not go this year, but last year I remember standing in a huge line (and I mean the line was so long it crossed the whole park) on day 1 of the fair and seeing two elderly ladies a few rows ahead of me who were over 80 years old shivering in the rain. After reading that Reddit, all I can think is would people wait in the rain if they knew they weren’t the first group to see the donations on day one? Gee, If I had known, I would have waited for the rain to clear for sure ?
It rained so so much on the days of this year’s Bookarama too, so there were a lot of people being little Trojans to attend this fair.
What do you guys think? Has anyone donated books?

That can happen sometimes if you copy and paste text from other websites.

If you go back in and edit it using the 'Full Edit' mode you can use the font size button on the editor to adjust it after selecting all the text.

Alternatively, I usually just use the "paste as plain text" option instead of a standard 'paste' -  most browsers have on the right click menu, strips out all formatting...

you can have a go at editing it out yourself or one of the admin/mods will sort it out in due course for you...
This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
