The charity shops near me have signs on their doors saying "No Books Please". Perhaps because I'm currently near a University, many of the students donate books to them, especially at this time of year.
There's a hospice not far from me, but the charity shop which raises funds for it is one which no longer takes books.
I don't think we have a Goodwills in the UK.
I used to go to lots of car boot sales and purchase really cheap paperbacks, in variable condition and amassed lots of them. I'm like a hoarder where books are concerned, but I must get rid of some, especially the out of copyright classics which I'd rather read on my ereader.
Most of the furniture from my present house will be dumped in someway, I'm just taking a few select items and the washing machine and fridge. The majority of the move will be books! So I must get rid of many. I must be RUTHLESS!
