Need Books

That would be one way to score some inexpensive shelf fillers!!!

We have Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters thrift stores here that I donate to and they always have hardback books available.

Gonna put the kids on it.....In all honesty, that whole house is my man cave, out on a dirt road. It's a great place with alot of history, I want to make it better. I think, not being very literate, that books are a good way to start. So I'm goin' with my gut, gonna build a library room.

Oh, with a flat screen, rifle bench with vise, kegerator....you know, library necessities.

Joe, we are selling our NC house to move to Fl. Full time. Just donated a few hundred books to the local thrift store that supports hungry or homeless mountain people.

Check with charities that accept books as donations for their Thrift Shops and you can probably buy lots for a donation. Two birds with one shot.........

Funny thing is with a few replies here I am rejuvinated. New hope for completion on the repair job that is 500 miles away and has dragged on and on and on. I went up there to work a few months ago, unwound all my nail gun hoses and extension cords. I was stoked. Looked at the job, closed my work trailer doors, drove to Hooters, sixty miles away in Savannah, Georgia. I got so piss drunk two Marines from the Air Station in Beaufort had to come get me. Job wore me down, and I doubt I'll be re-imbursed in full cause it took so long. But ya cannot get help out there, nobody wants to drive out there to work. So it drones on and on.....but getting closer to being done.

I'll check with our person who manages our books. We may be able to spare a few boxes. You'll just have to run over here and pick them up.

I don't get rid of books. There are however places that sell remainder books by the pound, if you don't care about the subject matter.

I'm just trying to help out your heart. I talked to the person and she says I have to get permission from the CEO. I should see him on Monday, so I'll ask then.

Most of the books are conservative and were sent to us for reviews. Even if I grab dups, there are a lot of books there. I'll let you know.

I have hundreds of books upstairs in my bonus room. I would be happy to donate them to someone who would value them. Most are paperbacks (suspense, mystery and science fiction) and there are probably a hundred or so hardbacks too, mostly science fiction.

My wife would think you a hero if you would take them off my hands. I live in Gainesville, FL and often go to Charlotte. There may be a way to exchange them without having to pay shipping.

PM me if you're interested and want more information.
