Nooooooo!!!! DON'T SCRAP THEM! DONATE THEM TO THE LIBRARY OR SCHOOLS! EVEN GOODWILL OR SALVATION ARMY RE-SELLS THEM! (that's my main sources).................
Most of the books I dump off are at an intellectual level appreciated by most dumpster divers. It is amusing to watch them flock around a fresh deposit of old books, especially considering that none of the scroungers would even think of going to the public library. The books are all put back into circulation almost immediately. One kind of book I get rid of right away is books about philosophy. Philosophy books I keep.
