Hi, End up with same problem. Tried selling them but more hassle than it was worth on sites. You could try swapping with friends/family just put one of my books in a birthday basket for friends 40th. Everything else new but didn't have a book to put in. One day going to have car boot sale! ha! ha! saying that for years.Grocery challenge june £300/ £211-50.

I help with a project in SW Uganda (and am looking for volunteers who could fund themselves while there with no admin fees!) Books would be geatfully received by villagers and schoolchildren - however the big challenge is transport costs. A commercial company will charge around £250 per cubic metre - unless anyone has contacts where it could be much cheaper???Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

i have got to say that i feel very very shocked that anyone can have the heart to throw a book out. You can always give them to under privileged schools, nursing homes, or just to friends that havent read them! I also find it very wrong that charity shops dont accept them. I love buying books from charity shops!0
