Paul, I have the same problem but probably different books You might want to list those that are any good and offer them for the cost of postage here. The best of them might be worth a small fee + postage.

Charity shops will take them all back as will most National Trust properties which these days usually have a secondhand bookshop to help with revenue.

Put them back in charity shops. Oxfam have specialist book shops. That is where I look for books on traditional photography. They also charge reasonable prices, so they are making some money for their causes. Alex.

Perhaps donate them to your local Art College or University library. I have told my wife to dispose of my 'hundreds' of photography books this way.

Give them back to a charity shop such as Oxfam who will get a good price for them in one of their bookshops. I'll help you shift them if you like.

that's a bit of room made I hummed and ared and I have kept about 50 books and all the rest are going to the British heart foundation I hope they don't send one of there patients because there is about 150 books to shift ,so that leaves me with 50 hardback photography books and my picture post books life photographers books and how we lived and ww2 books and there's about 50 of them so I have emptied a couple of shelves and now I will have some room to expand my darkroom.
I am also going to stop buying cameras there was one on eBay a Nikon f with motordrive ,it was hard but I did not bid on it ,I am going to stick with what I have got, and I am going to sort out my darkroom so I can spend a little more time in there in comfort ..
thanks for the advice and offers of help..
