Noir are us
Summary: keziak has numerous noir novels stored in cartons in their basement and is considering options for disposing or organizing them. They mention that most books are not organized by author and some are not vintage, which might lead to donations if they don't sell. soh.maryl inquires if suggestions are needed for disposal, while 1786davycrockett reflects nostalgically on interest in such novels. adamcartwright suggests donating them to upcoming rummage sales organized by churches or civic organizations.
These are cartons of noir novels in my basement now. I had them stacked in a closet before, inacessable. Boxes on the bottom of the stacks did not it into the photo.. I have 3 more bankers boxes in my office. A few are organized by author but most are "misc" and the MP sellers were not kidding about that. So far I have been able to fish out a few small lots from the first box. These lots are not heavy, they have that going for them. A few authors have not been vintage and I suppose I'll donate them if they do not sell. About the only thing I can think to do if I give up is put them back on MP. They are not anything any place in town would want and I really do not want to put them in recycling.

·1 month agoAre there any rummage sales held by churches or civic organizations coming up in your area? These would be a great donation to something like that.

·1 month agoWe have previously told the OP to sell their unwanted books to another bookseller, or donate and take a tax deduction. I would probably buy them if I were closer.

Oh, to be 40 years younger again -- I would have scooped them up immediately.
