    Job done.

    Not really. I would consider that only as a last resort.

    Don't think they will get recycled has glue in the books etc.

    Could put them on Bookcrossing.com it's free to join and it's fun can see where the books travel to.

  • You could try freecycle
  • It's funny coming across this thread because I was e-mail the St Vincent de Paul in Lurgan the other day asking them if they take second hand paperback novels. They haven't replied to me yet. I see somebody said that Lurgan Railway Station take them. I might give them a ring because I hate throwing books away but I want to clear out my bookshelves to make room for serious books.

    What on earth are you talking about? Are you making it some sort of mission to stalk me and say stupid things to me in order to make me feel unwelcome?

    As I think I have already said Lurgan Station does indeed take books. Just leave them on the table at the exit door to the Belfast bound platform where you get your tickets.

    I knew somebody had said it. Thank you for reminding me who it was. With the quantity of books I have in mind I think I'd like to talk to the stationmaster first but I need to wait until the St Vincent de Paul get back to me as I've given them first dibs. They do so much good work so I always try them first when I'm disposing of something. It might do some good for some poor creature who's down on his or her luck.
