What do you do with old textbooks?
What do you do with old textbooks? I studied maths and physics and a bunch of other things and have a special fondness for the books that I have been carrying around for the last 20 years. I also haven't looked inside them in the last 20 years. Should I just dump them at a local library? Recycle? Burn in a cathartic bon fire?
i have scanned and stored my textbooks in digital form, the hard copies of most recent editions remain on shelf.
i donate to homeschoolers that have interest and flair for technical subjects
> Should I just dump them at a local library?
yes.
many libraries esp the ones at univ/colleges have shelves / bins for donation books. I found some very helpful books from a library 12 yrs ago.
Don't burn them please. Better to donate them to Oxfam (UK), Goodwill (USA) or a charity of your choice at Community Thrift (San Francisco).
