Piles of books

[vivdunstan]

Clearing more secondhand books to go to charity. We don't have enough bookcases in this house and there are lots of piles. Positive: digging into a pile that hasn't seen the light of day for years reveals a large number of books to donate to charity. Negative: it can undermine another pile!

Also there's a limit to how many books Martin can take at a time to our local Oxfam's (the best place locally to donate them to find good homes). He may need several trips with over 30 books looked out today! Plus a backlog of other ones plus Big Finish Doctor Who audios.

There are many more piles and areas still to be attacked ...

IT's worth asking the Oxfam shop what volume of donations they can take at one time. some of them have loads of backroom space, and can be over-whelmed if they get a lot at once.

But 30 seems pretty reasonable, and Oxfam have good knowledge about how to price correctly.

Thanks, good tip! I've queried some things in advance before, but not volume. So I'll check re that next time we're donating. I've got our local store's email address, and the manager is very responsive there. So I'll ask. Cheers!
