Well, that doesn't help. ;-)

I've only got eight photography books so far, but I haven't been at this long -- just 
give me time. Hehehe.

Years ago I called local schools seeing if anyone wanted the Apple books, since Apple 
was still being used in schools then. Nope. A lot of schools are not setup to handle 
donations, bit weird but that's the way it is.

So I got rid of some and kept the rest. Yes, resale really only buys one some credit 
with used book stores. But that's worth it sometimes, so it's what I do with all the 
mysteries.

Good for you re libraries. Next time, with different newer books, I'll try that route.
