Academic Book Services, Inc. will buy used textbooks:
1-800-652-3050 is the number in their "ordering" catalog. I don't know if
that's the number to call to sell. I use the rep in our area and call him
direct.

Subject: TARGET: How to dispose of textbooks cataloged by the library
Hi all--
Here is a question for those of you who manage your school's textbooks.
Our school library has managed our school's textbooks (barcoding,
cataloging, check out, check in, inventory, etc.) for the last 3 years.
So far, so good.
Recently, we've had one of those situations no one likes to have, and we
have a new (used one semester) set of mathematics textbooks that we no
longer need. As the new guru of textbooks, it has fallen to me to
figure out what to do with them. I've thought about donating them to a
school that needs/wants them, but have no way of knowing who might want
them! I do not want to spend the time selling them one by one on E-bay
or the like and I really don't want to throw them out...they are way too
new! I've looked through the archives, asked local colleagues, and done
some Googling with no luck. I am still at a loss.
Does anyone have any advice? I can post a HIT if there is an interest.
P.S. Just in case YOUR school might need them, this is what we have:
COMAP's Mathematics: Modeling Our World, Courses 1-3 plus teachers
materials. Copyright 1998, used lightly, but barcoded and contains
library property stamps and spine labels!
