       		<description><![CDATA[NASHUA, NH - When the economy sours, people look to save money any way they can. That often translates to more conservation and recycling. And that's been a boost to local resale and thrift shops. Now some of these secondhand businesses are seizing an opportunity created by the downturn: They're moving into the empty spaces bankrupt big-box retailers left behind. Today's new superstore is not a Wal-Mart. It's a for-profit version of the Salvation Army. There's a Used Book Superstore. The parking lot is packed and it hasn't been this busy since the building housed a now-bankrupt electronics chain called Tweeter. There are 100,000 books stacked on metal shelves. The store may not have the warm vibe of a cafe, but it's well-lit and organized. As with the Savers store down the street, the used bookstore partners with a non-profit organization. Used Book Superstore gives a tax write-off to donors. Owner Bob Ticehurst says in turn, it pays the nonprofit five cents a pound for the books. "The nonprofit raises money and we're able to keep all of our operations going," Ticehurst explains. "So, kind of a win-win for everybody." <a target=_blank href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124202298" rel="nofollow">Read More...</a>]]></description>
