Taking a break from sorting books. Anybody want several hundred pounds of misc. hardbound and paperback fiction and non fiction books?
Nice processing, Jack. I had to do the same thing with my books.

Thanks Ken, does that mean you don't want mine
What a fun way to spend a bit of time and exploring your creative side. Books...wow, that brings back memories. Being in a technical career for 50-years, I collected about any book or trade magazine that I could come across and I became a compulsive hoarder of them. Three of the walls in my office were filled with floor-to-ceiling books and magazines as well as my basement study area. I had to have the bookshelves reinforced from all of the weight on them. I walked away from them all when I retired and it was a lot like saying a final goodby to a dear friend.

I too am a collector of books, everything from junk fiction to Aristotle, Plato and Bertrand Russell. I found a 1950s Physics Text and well used copies of Catcher In The Rye, and To Kill a Mockingbird. I will keep my Steinbeck and Hemingway collections, but the junk fiction and dated material will have to go

So what you're trying to unload is a few hundred pounds of junk? Hmmm ... put it that way, and it doesn't sound too attractive!

Remember, one man's trash (junk) is another man's treasure. No I am not a treasure hunter. lol
Your bee should be a good distraction!
