I can't advise on selling but after looking at some of the new books out there for my twin grand-daughters, I'll probably look for some of the older ones. The new stuff just isn't as creative or as beautifully illustrated IMO.

Baumgarten was one of the last reference books I bought, back in the day. I miss the business, my friends and customers, but just couldn’t keep going without making money. I’m not self-serving enough about money.
While I expect some would be worth money, others might get rejected, due to political correctness (everything from Sambo, to Tom Sawyer).
However, what you can't get money for, why not consider finding something like a children's shelter, or the like. (use them for their purpose, of entertaining kids)
Not sure how this is done but I have read that the demand from overseas schools and local libraries for donated books is enormous as their budgets are very limited.
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
Sambo has been a valuable book for some time, because of what it is!
When I moved 3.5 years ago, I gave 4 bankers boxes of children’s picture books to the local elementary school here. Their “school library” is a smallish room that is actually the county library, and they had very few books for kids. I had paid $15-$25/book, collected from about 1970 to 2005, and used them as teaching tools in my classroom for 30 years. They lived on the Teacher Bookshelf. It was more important to me that they get into the hands of kids and teachers than it was to recoup any money. The teachers were thrilled; this is a relatively poor community, and a small school, so not much funding is available.
Ms, that’s very generous.
Agree! Very nice, ms!Originally Posted by Teacher Terry
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
