Does anyone want this old and lightly dusty 20 volume set of books? They have been with my family since probably that date, but nobody wants them anymore.
I like to horde cool stuff and encyclopedias have always felt like a big wealth of random knowledge. But I am cleaning things out and don’t want to have responsibility for these being destroyed in a flood or something.
I will ship them all for free to anywhere up to $100 in shipping cost. I pay for shipping. I just want them gone but safe.
Would really want somebody who is actually interested in taking care of or handling these books well.
My other option is of course my library, but it feels more personal to give a Lemmy user first dibs.
Please share so I can find a new owner quickly. Thanks.
Edit: will ship anywhere in the world up to $100
You could consider a physical donation to the Internet Archive too, which is potentially more useful than a normal library because, as they say and I quote, they “try to digitize materials and make them available publicly as funding allows”.

While I can’t seem to find it up on the archive itself, the Donate Books app says they don’t need it :(
ISBN 0916681 00 9
I guess they have yet to finish scanning and uploading it.
I was excited to see located at “Florida Avenue” but then saw it was a California address 😭
