Submission + - What to do with old tech books 1
zandini writes: I have lots of old tech books. Java 1 & 2, HTML 4, Using Debian 2.1, just to name a few. My bookshelf is full of these books, but now they are either obsolete (like HTML 4), or same or better information is available on the internet (e.g. perl, python). I called local libraries, but they do not want any computer books older than 2 years. Some of my books on C/C++ and old Computer Science text books are still valid, but it seems that they won't take them since they are too old. Ebay could be an option, but selling over 50 books on ebay individually could be really time consuming, especially since I am looking to make money from these anyways.
What did you guys to with your old computer books? Did you just throw them in the recycle bin? Or were you able to find someone somewhere who could take these books and make use of them?
