There still are plenty of Yidden who throw their Qinos into Geniza
every year after 9 B'Av.

The yearly sale of new Qinos books (softcover) is a big business here
in EY. Outside many shuls you are offered a wide selection of new
editions.

B'Nechomas Tzion,

- Danny, who uses his Opa's Qinos which is so old that the translation
is in Gothic script [Blackletter, as per RAF]
