[Hopkirk]

I think you will struggle to find anyone who wants them, except for their wood burner stove.

I could deliver within 20 miles of Congleton

Alternatively, can't you donate them to your local library...?

[paddywak]

That's what I did with mine Mark, they now reside in the local school library and I'm pleased to say that a friend of mine who works there once remarked how often you see students using them even though they were nearly 30 years out of date.

The information on, say, the Battle of Hastings is unlikely to have changed much since 1970, though... :-D

[dimple]

I've tried local schools but no interest. I'll try he local libray on Monday. Thanks MarkRae

[MarkRae]

It's true to say that there is more processing power in a pocket calculator than was in the entire lunar module which took the first astronauts to the moon.

Similarly, all of the information contained within these volumes could fit easily onto a modern SmartPhone, and I like having a couple of thousand of my albums with me on my iPod wherever I go.

If no-one wants them, do the "right" thing and recycle them, won't you...? :-)

[optomist]

Good Luck mate......I couldn't give mine away even locally..

I can remember the salesman coming to our first house, we were a young couple with two small kids and he convinced us naive pair that our children's education would suffer if we did not have these E/Britannica ready for them to use.How we struggled with the monthly payments and they were never touched.

[MANFROMPLUTO]

I have thrown all my university books away.
I graduated in 1976 and they are of no use by anybody now.
I was retired from banking at 50 and did another 5 years in a low grade job in Social Services which bore no relation to what I did at university and now been pensioned off again.
