Do they have Half-Price Books in your area? Or maybe some other local used
book stores? If so, sell them there. Won't get much for them but better
than throwing them away. Storing in a "shed" would destroy books as well as
furniture and photos, as I am sure you are aware, unless it is
air-conditioned and heated.

Subject: [world-cruising] Clearing out stuff; especially books
The last time I did this I didn't have much problem. I was younger.
Stuff didn't have as much value in many ways. Things just went and
there wasn't much thought. Need it? Use it? Keep it. Not? It goes.
Storage? Small and almost nonexistent.
This time is different. We're going to have a storage "shed" at a
relatives for the "good" stuff that we want to keep and that will be
relatively small. We're looking at disposing of reference books on
many subjects from two former households that have been merged. Most
are not exactly current, cutting edge stuff but lots of the stuff
could be used by someone as a way to give themselves a basis to
decide if they want to go that way with a new career or not or as a
way to just do something that maybe isn't cutting edge. Some might be
sailing stuff but older rather than the newest stuff off the shelf
but still in good condition and often hard bound. We're doing garage
sales for some stuff but books, in particular, seem to be in a
different category.
Any ideas on how to get rid of them, make a few bucks at the same
time (more than garage sale hopefully), and do it easily and quickly?
Does it work for other things as well?
TIA.
