    We cleared the attic last weekend and took a load of books which were on shelves. Books mainly date from 1990 to present with a lot of crime fiction in there. With World Book Day approaching, what's the best option in terms of giving them away?

    Ring up your local charity shop, they'll probably be happy to take them

    If you've got anything by Frederick Forsythe, Ian Fleming, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell hammet (or any other hardboiled fiction), Elmore Leonard or Donald Hamilton Ill gladly take them off your hands.:D

    The local libraries were running a give a book take a book thing awhile back. I presume they still are? Simply drop the books into a big box at the entrance to the library. People just came in and took the ones they liked or dropped some off with no questions asked.

    Oxfam do take books as long as they're in relatively good condition. if you would like to gift them to fellow readers you could always put them up on jumble town books section.

    Or you could try and sell them yourself?

    Thanks for the advice folks. The local Oxfam received them all gratefully at the weekend.

    Running Bing - there were no books by the authors you mentioned unfortunately.
