I need to clean out my bookshelves, problem is the books aren't exactly popular fiction. Stuff I bought at Moe's and Cody's in Berkeley when I was in school, much of it paperbacks, not new ones -- which libraries don't like.
It would be nice for an English or liberal arts major, especially a grad student, if they read paper books any more, but it's not bookmobile or public library material mostly.
Anyhow, I don't want to search for owners bit by bit, I'd just like to put them somewhere they'd be more appreciated than at the Salvation Army.
Ideas?
Please tag on the topic if you too want to sell or give away books.
What I'm looking to do is strip my books down to ones I can't bear to part with and still plan to read, and I want to make it easier to see the ones I want to read by making it so I don't have more books than I have shelf room.
PS. If anyone has any serious interest in James Joyce, I have lots of books and criticism. I could easily sell that collection for something on the mainland, but I already priced mailing the books, and it would be $200 for shipping even at book rate. So if you know a student of Joyce ...
