I have a box full of books I don't want, any easy way to get rid of them?

Easiest way (i.e. least hassle for you) is a simple ad on Freegle. Someone will offer to collect them. Everything else will require you to transport the books somehow.

Gumtree? Specify that they have to collect.

Freegle or Freecycle is likely to be the easiest as someone will collect them.

Charity shops will take them if you drop them off. An alternative to this is to take to your nearest local hospital or old folks home, I've done this in the past and they've been really appreciative of them as it's kept the patients occupied.

Hmm looking at ebay loads of ppl are selling the same sort of amount of books and only getting a cpl pound for them. not worth my time then. Well Ill give them away and at least I can tell my mum I loked and it wasnt worth it to stop her complaining .

Local library i guess.

check how much they go for on Amazon- sometimes textbooks can go for a quite a bit and it is the perfect time of year to get rid of them. Or ask your uni department to email round a list of the books you are selling/ pop it on a noticeboard
