I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't buy normal books. Mine are mostly Kuhnhausen technical manuals and Sweeney gun digest books from the early 2ks. They stay in a bin for reference and nostalgia purposes.
I do receive a hefty amount of cookbooks (all my friends and family no I'm a cooking junky), and random history and suspense novels. Cookbooks I scroll through and make not of interesting recipes, then donate to local animal shelter thrift store. Novels and such I put in the free library boxes around my area. |

I just sent a couple of books to a well known Arfcommer. B/C f*ck the state. If I gave it to the school I could get a tax receipt but the Arfcommer would enjoy it more and actually read them.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CB1: sell them at half priced books. Done that a few times. It's not worth the cost of gas to get there. Fifty cents a book, maybe a buck for hardback. |

Yard sale and then Goodwill.
I have a bunch of cop/street survival books that I will probably put on the EE soon. |

Not a one of 'em has complained. they will eventually fall apart due to those temps. The glue deteriorates. If you aren't using/reading them, it probably doesn't matter to you, but in case there's some in there that mean a lot... |

But if the choice is between storing them and trashing them, even non-optimal conditions will get you years. |

That cryptic post about "the end of my life" and no posts since....is worrisome. Pretty sure that message means what it says. I posted about him in the missing members thread, but I don't think anyone saw it (that's me being nice to compensate for them ignoring my concerns). Rest easy, Tiempos. |
