OnTheBrink Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 A gal on my local Freecycle loop posted she had boxes of books to give away. She posted pictures of the boxes, so I could see most of the titles. I didn't want all of what she had, but I took them all just to get the ones I wanted. Turns out, she recognized my name because we have mutual FB friends! I got 22 Harvard Classics, most look like they've never been opened! I got 8 books from The Classics Club. I got The Story of Art by Gombrich, as well as too many other titles to list (mostly commercial fiction). There are still 6 boxes of books in my car I'll disburse to friends this week, if they want them. Most of what's left are romance books, popular fiction and authors I've never heard of. I'm so excited about my score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always list the left overs on Paperback Swap and use the credits to buy stuff you do want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
