I have 6 feet by 20 feet of text books (probably about 2-300), double
stacked. 50+ years in the engineering profession.
Primary subjects a Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering,
Hydraulics, Electronics, and heavy on Mathematics.
My heart will not let me throw them away. Gladly give them for free to
anybody that could use them.

Yes, I have not looked at these books for five years except the math
books. Don't really NEED any of them, but they were my life. When I
pass they will simply be thrown away. Maybe I should do it now.


Any experience with this down-sizing would be appreciated.

PUt them on ebay and see if any takers. Price them starting at about $
1.00
to start with and postage to be added. Then put them on Craigs list for
free.


I bought a couple books on Ebay recently. The money went to charity.
I think the books were $5 postage included. Maybe mention the money is
going
to .................... charity.
