I'd not come across it before and love it. Thank you Julia.
I looked into selling my books on Amazon. Opinions vary.
A lot.
One argument against goes thus: by selling for a very low price on Amazon you are doing some small second hand book dealer out of business. This may well be true. The same is sometimes said of charity shops.
One argument in favour is that you may be keeping books out of landfill.
I'm not much wiser, and the books have gone to Oxfam. That way at least four people benefit. I get space. Someone gets a voluntary job sorting them.Several people get a book they want at a bargain price. Someone else hopefully gets something they really really need. Win all round.
How do you dispose of unwanted books?

How do you spot a blogger?
They are the ones photographing the food instead of eating it.
Tee hee - I don't think I have done this yet! Or have I?.....
