Is it worth using 'World of Books' to recycle books?

I've tried loads of online booksellers but the prices I got would nowhere near cover the cost of the price of the book and postage. A lot of my books were hardbacks and reference books.
I gave up trying and took them all to our local recycling centre to put in the recycle shop along with all the cd's I had.

I’ve just used WOB - DPD collect and it’s free and I need them to be collected. I was paid just over £111 with a price range from 10p to £4.27. Very efficient service and for me the easiest way to get rid of the books.

I have bought many books from WOB and am very grateful to the people who send their books there as they tend to be rather niche Latin, Ancient Greek, Classics, History, piano and Archaeology textbooks. I would never have found them in a local charity shop, and they have saved me a lot of money rather than buying new. So thanks to everyone that offloads their books this way!

I’ve been sorting through my books, and as has been said, for the small amount you get for them, just not worth the faff.

A few I have managed to car boot, some of the older ones ( quite readable, but yellowed pages) I have placed in a telephone box exchange, a few to charity shops, some to a book sale at church, and the newest and best condition ones donated to the library. The latter, if they don’t make it to the ‘borrow’ shelf, they go in the occasional book sales they have.
