I've thought of doing an unofficial bookcross and just leaving them scattered in various coffee shops, benches etc. Or even the silly notion of putting them in a bin (not on bin night) marked "Please take one" and leaving that outside my house.

I just hate the idea of throwing them away.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
We haven't found the charity shops not taking them yet.

Goodwill especially has an online presence selling books. I get many used books from them through Amazon for 1 cent + 3.99=$4.00. When finished I give them to my local store.. In fact there seem to be nice big Goodwills everywhere. We like them because besides providing free or cheap goods Goodwill has a jobs program.
