I had about 50 books listed on half.com and sold maybe 6 of them and only made coins on each sale anyway. I delisted the rest and donated them to the city's library system. They took every book and I can write them all off. I’m with you.

For our system, if it is a textbook, yellowed, musty, moldy, smokey smelling, tattered or out of date, it probably won't make it to the Friends of the Library sale. People don't realize most of the time we are doing them a service by recycling their junked books for them! :) obviously given my profession it is awesome when people think LIBRARY, but as one who has to thin out the donation bin weekly, please consider asking what books do well being donated.

Its also worthwhile to donate to small town libraries that might be struggling to get more books.
