Last night I decided to stop dithering over this book problem I had, and get to work on it. I had 57 books listed on Ebay that were non-technical books and not selling well at all. And I'd had to take them out of the file cabinets to make room for technical books. Plus I had others, amounting to something like 80 books in all.
I came up with a pretty slick system to de-list the ones on Ebay, then went through them all, taking out the ones that the used book store will not want because they're music books, or in one case a cookbook, or just too beat up.
That divided them in half. I took the half the used book store won't want and bagged them up, and called it a night.
I woke up and had time for coffee etc., and left here at a quarter to six. I dropped off a bag of trash far away from here in a city trash can, and took the books to the little free library in Japantown. They all fit in that one there, which is good because I wanted all the music books to be together so if someone is interested in one, the rest will be there with it. All but a few were about flute so maybe they'll get a kid interested in the flute.
I got a few things in Nijiya and came back here. The bum's bike cart was still sitting out here, and I picked up a couple of cardboard boxes and some trash and put them in the HVAC place's dumpster, and got in and buttoned up for the night.
