really mean "meaningful employment" there could be some
interesting pricing.

Considering the amount of money they must take in, I think they could
provide meaningful employment for a few people year-round. They would
need volunteers for the run-up and the sale, though.

This part puzzles me: "Because we're based in Palatine, I think we
will get cooperation from local companies, something Brandeis wasn't
able to do..." I wonder what kind of cooperation they have in mind?
If a large portion of next year's books are overstocks and returns
donated by local companies in the book trade, I will not be impressed.

Maybe they mean donations of food, space, and materials.
At least I hope so.
