I donate them to the local library's "used book sale".
I figure the types of people who get up early in the
morning and wait outdoors (in February) in very long lines
are PROBABALY more likely to appreciate them than the
folks who *rarely* visit the library or a bookstore.

And, it does some little bit towards keeping the library
functioning as an institution.

Or, I find someone with similar tastes and offload a box at a
time.  I just gave two Xerox boxes of books to a friend for
his son...

Yeah, I'm not fond of any of these places.  "Use our secure server..."
Um, OK.  So are all of these breaches I hear about in the news on
INSECURE servers?  (obviously... but I am sure they all THOUGHT
they were secure originally!)
