Any thoughts on where/how to get rid of what seems a lot of books pls ? John and I sold a good few boxes of mine using a number of forums that allow free classified ads. Most of them were pretty new and only read once and sold for a small amount plus postage. I worked out the most effective weight for the best value postage and calculated the number of books I could send. If you can find the time to catalogue your collection it's an option. TB    Report

My husband is/was a keen GB collector and I think there were more boxes of stamps and albums that came over when we moved 7 years ago than there were anything else! (Although the books were not far behind!) It's 'er indoors who is the collector and I must admit (to my shame ) that I really don't know her specialities although I think GB is one of them. I'll ask her and also ask if she wants to get in touch to exchange notes, if you like that is. My doctor said one drink per day, I can live with that !    Report

You just send on your books to people who want them for the cost of postage. And then you can use your points to get books from other people.   I was getting desperate for books to read but needed to clear space to get them. This solved both problems. There is a special tarif for sending books abroad which makes this so attractive. TB    Report
