Jackie, is there a second hand book shop in your area? You could donate to them if there is. I doubt they would pay you for them but at least you wouldn't throw them away. I did this a few years ago. I was just glad to get rid of them.

Don't fret over the loss of the magazines. You got your enjoyment from them so they served their purpose. I would take the books to Salvation Army. I use to work for Salvation Army and I know that every penny is used for good, not to give big salaries.

I'd offer them here on this forum for shipping costs. I hate giving things away as well but sometimes that's what I need to do.

I always check Goodwill and used book stores for quilt books and magazines.

Craigslist is another place.

Or Freecycle if you have it in your area.

Our Quilt Guild just got a large amount of donated quilting magazines. There’s little or no interest in them. Too dated, sorry to say.

Friends of the Green Vallet Library run a used book store in two of the libraries in their area. I don't know if that is near you, but their website says they will arrange for pickup. I live way north of you in Canada and it's the first place I go to look when I'm tying to find a quilting book that might no longer be I print or I just can't find. They give great service and it always makes me feel good to know I'm helping out a library in some small way!

Have you tried Half Priced Books? They purchase used books to sell. At one time one of our local libraries was collecting books for prisoners.

I second in donating them to the local library. I donated all my books to them when I discovered Kindle and they were pleased to get them. Library budgets are limited and getting craft type books are usually welcomed.
