I am ridding my library of all her books.

Now what to do with them..... 1. donate to local library... 2. Sell in garage sale.......3...TRASH BIN.

suggestions?

Donate them to your local library--she won't like that, especially if they make it into the collection.

At a book signing, I told her that since I had a say in collection development at the library where I worked, I would make sure her book was added to our collection. To my surprise, she expressed disappointment, saying that sales would be hurt if the book was available in the public library.

I found this attitude to be rather short-sighted. Most authors want their books in public library collections, and many go to considerable efforts to convince libraries to purchase their books and to get patrons to check them out and read them.

she expressed disappointment..........rofl

Well then, I may just have to add to her grief. Going over tomorrow, I will see just how many they already have. One on the shelf is more than enough, lol

I know they have plenty of O'Reilly's books, best used as a fire starter now.

Mostly I think the libraries can't even give these books away themselves.

When Rush was breaking book sales records with his first book, we had to pressure our library to purchase any.
