basically, no takers. Mndrew Send a noteboard - 20/05/2013 07:49:55 AM

I've tried donating to local libraries; they put them straight into their annual book sale. None have ever landed on a library shelf. (Many/most librarians arrogantly insist on buying their own books. "My way or the highway." )
Friends/family who might possibly be interested in same books are like me, if they are interested in reading it, they bought it already.
Unless it's rare/out of print, selling on Ebay or Amazon yeilds pennies at best.

So they pile up.

Now, I only 'read' audio books; with the exception of Graphic Novels, which I get on my Kindle Fire.

Just donate them to your library and get an ereader. The format is rapidly approaching obsolescence. Ghavrel - 09/05/2013 08:22:56 AM 935 Views

If I enjoy books I keep them. If I hate them I give them to charity or to unsuspecting friends. Rebekah - 20/05/2013 08:26:53 AM 728 Views
