Tell me about it! I have over 400 hard cover books sitting in my basement since we moved and I can't give them away! I've called the library, hospitals, senior's home, second-hand bookstores - you name it. I've finally just e-mailed my spreadsheet to some friends, told them to pick the ones they want and I'll pull them out and my husband is going to toss the rest in the big trash bin they have at his work.Originally Posted by Pepper Girl
LOL.... I'm waiting for it to come out in paperback too (or borrowing it from a friend). Buying a new novel in hardcover can be sooo expensive sometimes, even thought the Chapters by my work does have great sales sometimes it'll probably be a while before the price on "Da Vinci's Code" goes down.
Wait, why don't you want hard cover books? I'll take em!
We downsized to a smaller house and I just don't have the room for 12+ boxes of books.
Got it. My parents downsized and had to get rid of a ton of my books... could you take them to a half-priced book store?
One more thing you could try (if you're so inclined) is freecycle.org. It's a yahoo group, broken down by regions and you have to register but it's free. It's all about giving away things to people who want the stuff you don't - instead of dumping it in the landfill.
Just wondering what you meant by that? I vaguely remember thinking the same thing when I was reading his books but I don't remember why.
I have contacted organizations, used book stores, hospitals, senior's homes, etc. in the Toronto-Guelph area (large area) and nobody wants the books. I'll try that group, but they are probably a US group and don't operate in Canada. I'll check it out anyway - thanks for the heads up.
I wasn't sure where you were, but I just looked and there is a listing for Guelph. Small, only 72 members but it's a start. The Toronto group has 2798 members.
That totally sucks!
This might not work cuz you're in Canada, but maybe you could sell them on Amazon.com? I sold some books off there, they even give you money to help out with shipping.
