Default Decluttering

I have well over 200 crafting books/magazines in my stash and it's definitely time to declutter. The majority are quilting related but there are also several in other of my interests, such as knitting, painting.

With our cold wintry weather, it's a good day to sort through these and decide what to give away. Yet after going through 3/4's of my pile I've only found 5 that I'm willing to let go of and most of those are pamphlet sized so my pile really isn't much smaller.

Any hints on how to let go of some of this? Does anyone else hold on to things you really don't need but you think someday you will? Realistically, 99.9% of the patterns in these I will never make or use yet I can't help but to hold on because in there is the .1% of them that I will use. Most of them have things I want to make but between time and money I know I just will never get to it. And some magazines I just like to look at.
