You don't get much for them though.
The other thing I have done is sell them to second hand book shop - its not really selling, you don't get money but you get to buy another book/s with the amount.
Needless to say they give you less for your sold books than for their bought books.
Other than that I just give books away - but as I have said on here before I am not really a book re-reader.
I only keep a very few favourites.

I keep only a few books and have an index of books I have read just in case I want to buy/read it again (thank goodness for local libraries).

I'm planning to move in February. I will donate some to the local library, which is I've never done before!gregs317 wrote:I always enjoy donating my unwanted books to our local library. They have used book sales about twice a year, and appreciate the donated books.

That's great - I know that your local library will appreciate the donated books! It may help someone in your community who might not be able to buy new books. Our library sells used books for $1-2. Woo-hoo, lol.Helga_ wrote:I've sold books that I bought on impulse and never/rarely read.
