Getting Rid of Books

it is really hard to part with books that i love. i think i've never given away or sold any of the books i love. i only give away those that i know i'll not read again. hope in the future, when my book collection becomes too much, i'd earn enough to have a spare room in the house and convert it into a library/study. and hope i'll never have to part with those books.

Hi, I find it terribly hard to give away books that I love so much, except for study and text books. Once I'm done with these, and am very sure that they are not required for future reference or whatever purposes, I will pack them up and give them away (charity or recyclers). As for my beloved fiction collection, I will not give them away...if there's no more space, most probably I'll either store them in boxes, or buy more shelves.

i collect alot of books, and sometimes i don't like to part with them, but i think half priced books is a good start let someone else enjoy them, sometime i will donate them to churches or other organizations, good will is good too.

I have given away a lot of my old books. I usually ask my family or my friends if they want some of them, and the rest of the books I donate to charity. I have also tried to sell some of my old books, but that wasn't easy at all, because I couldn't find a place that wanted to buy them. Eventually I gave up and decided to donate them to charity instead. I like to go through all my books every once in while so that I can find the ones that I don't use anymore and the ones I don't want to read again. That way someone else can enjoy my old books.

hi allyoftherain, well it happens to everyone that there is a time when we hate the books and want to kick them away. but as we grow up and try to remember the good times we had in school life the books remind us of those enjoyed moments and then we start loving those books

during my elementary and highschool days, I gave my book away to younger cousins and sold then my parents sold the rest. My college textbooks are still with me and I have no intention of selling them because they will come in handy one of these days. As for my fiction books, I NEVER sell or give them away. I like to have my own private library someday, and I am starting to collect books now.

It's very hard to part with books if you are a book lover. I have some good collections of the bestsellers of Grisham, Sheldon, Dan Brown, Ludlum, And many other thriller bestsellers but my brothers and cousins usually borrow them without returning. Some of my left collections are already brown in color but i cannot seem to part with them. As for the other books that I don't like too much, I often give them away to neighbors or anyone who wants the books.

its always difficult to let go of the special things you have... ^_^ sometimes, i even argue with myself if it's really a good idea to give up or not... ^_^
