I am in the process of culling excess books, and I'm not sure where I can sell them. I don't have a Half Price Books within 400 miles. Twice in the past I have given people planning on opening a used book store, the stock they need to get started. The first person got about thirty boxes of books, the second only fifteen. I would probably have about ten boxes of books to give away at this point.

There's a second hand bookstore in my city (Santa Fe) that says they will give cash for books. I brought them two bags full, and they didn't want any of the books. Sigh.

I may just box up my culled books, knowing I'll be going to the Kansas City area, which does have a Half Price Books, within the year, and sell my books to them.
