Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Through this constant cycle of donation, curation, and discovery, secondhand bookshops end up preserving titles that mainstream retailers have long since stopped stocking, keeping older voices in circulation for new readers.
- Customers browsing these shelves often describe the appeal as a kind of treasure hunt, since the same visit that turns up a forgotten classic might also reveal a title they never knew existed.
- The remaining books are then priced according to their condition and scarcity, so a worn paperback might sell for a few coins while a rare first edition commands a price worth locking in a glass case.
- Before any of these books reach the shelves, the shop owner must sort through them, setting aside water-damaged or heavily annotated copies that few customers would want to buy.
- A secondhand bookshop typically builds its shelves from a steady trickle of donations, estate clearances, and boxes that former owners simply no longer have room to store.
