Book Rescue

I want your books to find a good home. In a perfect world, with perfect circumstances, we all might just keep our books forever. Read them, admire them, keep them safe and treasure them. But reality often requires what librarians call deacquisition. You might be moving, not have enough room; many factors can arise. I don't like to think about what happens to books which are part of estates. Managers often feel books aren't worth enough to bother with, and they end up in dumpsters.

We all love our books and want them to have good homes. I probably can't buy all your books. I don't have the resources or space. But I might be able to buy some. But I do love books, and I know a lot about books and the local and international market for books, and I would be willing to provide expert consultation, for free, about what your choices are for deacquisitioning your books.
