I hear ya on the books, Xena. We have a good amount of books as well, but every once in a while, I find a few that we won't miss and take them to a little used book shop. They usually give me store credit. So I can buy MORE books. The cycle goes on and on.

I still cry over all the National Geographics my parents threw away when they sold the house. Now that I'm older, I'll devour a NG in a few hours, and not just the pictures. The articles were really well written. So now I'm picking up issues here and there and trying to build a collection. I promised not to buy anything older than 1980 though.

Maybe I need to find a used bookstore that's not Half Price Books. They give me roughly a penny a pound for used books; I've never gotten more than a dollar for a book from them.

Off I go to look for used book stores near the hizouse!

books are great recyclables.
Hubby always buys hardback and wants to save them.
That kills me. I always buy paperbacks and then swap with friends who read the same authors as I. We pass the books on to other friends when finished.
