    selling used books

    Hi all

    have been in the process of decluttering my room. Was just wondering where I can sell my used books? are there any used book stores here that buys old books?

    if you can direct me to the correct places/people, that would be great.

    cheers

    Do you have like Natl Geo magazines and Reader's Digest books that you don't want? Coz - you could give them to the nearest school library... for reading and reference...

    cheers...

    I have got so many books that i think it would take me very very long to list it all out. But I will post some here...and see if there are any takers.

    thanks.

    Take a camera, stack all your books one above the other and shoot it in such a way that the titles are visible and post it here. Much like how people would scan books in a library! I hope that made your life easier

    ala brother... just go to the nearest school to you - every school has a pusat sumber membaca... see the HM and ask him/her if they would like the books/magazines... and if they are good reads like NG, RD, Pop.Science, Tech and Computers ... they'd gladly accept...

    Shamala, this site is AMAZING! I have a log of all the books I have read and now I can do it online!

    Thanks!!!
