  • Old math Books

    From Pfsszxt@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 2 11:05:38 2017
     I have all my math math books used in college and grad-school
    classes, and many more from years as a faculty member when publishers
    freely sent samples hoping for adoption as texts. Some are now classics.     I'm well past 80 years of age and no one I know will have any
    use for them.
        What to do with them?  [e-bay is not really a viable option for so
    many].

    You could try
     http://www.zubalbooks.com/sell.jsp
    or similar. Zubal keeps sending me stuff
    in the (snail) mail about buying my books,
    but I have no interest selling. So I can't
    give you a thumbs up/down about them.
    But my general info is that all such places
    give you next-to-nothing (and that's approaching
    zero from the negative side:) for books.

    You could donate them to a local library, college, university, etc. You
    could contact some schools in more remote parts of the world and see if
    they are interested in a donation, and perhaps interested in helping to
    pay for shipping costs.
