I have a few textbooks that are too old and outdated to sell on eBay. Is there anything good to do with them aside from just chucking them into the recycling bin?

I've got a few, I know one is/was the intro to EE text. I was thinking about what to do with them a couple of months back then I forgot about them.

I know I for one had the ♥ back in the day for some old textbooks that some college students donated to Goodwill; the town I grew up in didn't have a bookstore or an institution of higher education, and the library wasn't as well-stocked as a big-city library.

The Mellow Mushroom in Greenville has a bunch of art made from books that's hanging from the ceiling.

You can send them to other countries. I sent a whole bunch through Bridge to Asia:

Pretty sure you can donate them to betterworldbooks but I don't know what they do with them.

Sometimes around campuses they have a bin that you can put them in to donate.

I'll throw in another vote for book burning. That's what we always used to do back in the day.

use the pages for when I'm rolling a fattie.

Use as building blocks to make shelves, desks, or other simple structures. We used to reinforce 2 x 4 planks on homemade shelves with horizontally laid books to prevent the middle bowing problem.
