Meet the couple who have become 'book rescuers' - taking in up to 15,000 titles a week to save them from landfill.<br/><br/>George Brooks, 36, and partner Sarah, 42, started their journey in 2021 when they came into possession of 800 books that were destined for the dump.<br/><br/>They managed to sell that haul successfully and decided to start to taking in more, which they took to parking lots to auction off.<br/><br/>With locals wanting a more permanent location, they then opened a 3,600sq ft warehouse in Pinellas County, Florida where they now regularly take in 5,000 to 10,000 - and up to 15,000 - books a week.<br/><br/>The couple also recycle the books and create various projects and packages that they then sell on to artists, schools and theatres to give them new life.
