It’s sad to hear people talk of burning books or throwing them into landfill. There’s one of the dedicated Oxfam book shops near us, and it’s always busy with enthusiasts browsing and buying. It smells musty and dusty but is a treasure trove for the many people out there who actually value old and unusual books. They also sell online. And Oxfam offer a free service for people to send donations, including books, from their local Collect+ point. There is a maximum weight of 10kg per bag though.
I’m finally bracing myself to donate the 70+ old children’s annuals I’ve been storing for years for sentimental reasons, and Oxfam have said they’d be delighted to take them. They are all saleable, from just £1 to around £35, but I’d rather not have the hassle of selling them myself via eBay etc. What I would never do is dump something that others can use and value.
