CONCLUSION TO THE SAGA OF THE BOOKS
A few Posts back I talked about all the books I had collected over the years. As planned, I took them to a Half Priced Books store in our area. There was a Van packed full of boxes of books. I was anticipating receiving a somewhat significant sum of money for the books.
The good news is I got rid of the books--all of them. (I kept the more valuable recent books which I use regularly. I still have a lot of books!) Half Price Books store went through all the boxes. I wish I had kept track of how many boxes we took. They kept the books and will dispose of them for me.
The bad news is that for all those books I got a sum total of $8.00! I bought some stuff at the Half Priced Book Store while I was waiting for them to evaluate the books. So I spent more than the $8.00 I received for the books! They said most of them were too old to sell. I have to admit that they were right. Also, some of the books had markings on the bindings from when I had them catalogued in my library.
Oh well, at least they are not taking up space in my garage any longer.
