Is there a place that takes used books that I don't want or need any longer?

I have a lot of books that I don't want or need. Many are old textbooks I had in college, and don't use, but i hate to throw them away. I also have some older classic novels, etc that someone might be able to use but they were printed 10-20 years ago. And what about books that are 100+ years old? Don't they have some value?

Is there a place that takes used books that I don't want or need any longer?
As far as the novels goes. www.booksforsoldiers.com would love to have them. Make some friends overseas. Pax- C

The Book Rack (If you have one near you)


Half Price Books (but they suck at giving what your book is really worth!)


Half.com


Ebay


Amazon.com





I've sold a lot of old textbooks on Half.com and made some pretty good cash :)

Reply:To donate books, try your local library. Some libraries don't accept used books, so ask first.


To sell, ebay or amazon. If you're in the NYC area, Strands, in lower Manhattan, buys used books.


Old books, there are many antique book dealers who may be interested and pay good money. Google it.
Reply:Yes they should have value.





Here are some places to go:





1. Half Price Books


2. Public libraries


3. College book stores (preferably community)


4. Used college book store

  1. The best solution that I use is http://www.bigwords.com. I've been using them for years and they seem to always find me the best deal regardless of what book im looking for. They search all the online textbook retailers and rental sites then compare prices to help you find the best deal. It's really awesome.
