Cleared a box worth of books from the home library and have no idea where to send it. Could I send you a list as well?

I ended up dumping 2 full sets encyclopedias last year as the information was no longer correct, kept the old atlases though because there are interesting to see what the countries are like now vs then.

Pug, if you have any old ornithological, horticultural or history books let me know

Threads and users like these is why I rate this platform.

Never throw away books, either keep or donate.... never throw away.

I'd prefer to sell and make some small change.

All that in it.

Text books are the best for liquidity. Anything from secondary school to tertiary texts will bring in a lil cashish.

Where is that? I gave away most of the books I had over the past couple years when I was moving house etc. I burn through books so always looking for somewhere to donate to when I'm done reading them

yes burn them

Burn through simply means to use or go through something quickly... in this case books.

No fire is used and not even sure why this needs an explanation. Perhaps stick to posting in threads nobody really takes seriously and you will feel at home there rather than here.

Every thread title on Tuner could turn into a serious business.

For The Love of Reading takes used books clean/repair them and give them away for free.

Pick up and drop off at Mode Alive Valsayn and and couple other spots. Check FB for other locations. Most are north/central I think.

They prefer not to take encyclopedias because of the size. Books are taken off site for cleaning so difficult to manage. Give them to someone if you can.

Now I have them on epub and they don't seem so valuable to hold on to anymore.
