Same with me. Downsized our residence to single floor house at 1,800 sf from ranch over full basement at 2,600 sf. Parted ways with many books and a National Geographic mag collection of over 30 years all stored in the faux leather annual binders. Looked great on a bookshelf but nobody or place wanted them but the Dumpster. Actually a good place for the post 1990 issues and their woke green bent!
Late 90s was about when I kicked National Geographic to the curb over their politics.
