Is anyone interested in some older cook books for free? I just went through my collection of books, paring down to the ones that I will actually use.
The books are okay, in fact there are a couple good ones in there like the Stouffer and Pepperidge farm cook books. The rest are a mixture of Mexican and Latin American books, Italian, Colonial American, bread, and desserts. I just do not need ten books on the same cuisine, so I picked one or two that have recipes that interest me and want to give away the rest.
Please do not flame me for spamming, this is not business related and I do not want to make money from it, hence the "free" part. I just want to find a good home for these books, some of which have been in my family for a long time. I just do not need an entire shelf full of cook books.

Considering you're making a public offer and several people will likely want your cookbooks, for the sake of justice you may want to consider some sort of lottery, whereas no one gets more than one book.... or simply auction the entire lot to the highest bidder, with the opening bid covering the cost of shipping.

How about donating them to a local library system? I just moved into a new place. As I unpacked my books I realized I never use some of them so I put them in a box and will drop them off at a local library when I get a chance.

Someone else suggested donating them to a library. Another option is donating them to GoodWill or your local church which probably has some sort of annual church yard sale where they can sell them (usually for a buck or two each).

This is a good idea. Remember, however, that your local library will sell your books at their next Friends of the Library book sale. They won't put them on the library shelves to circulate. (There are complicated reasons for why this is so. There are also exceptions so don't nitpick.) I like the idea of donating to the library because the library makes a few needed dollars, and the books land in the hands of someone who will appreciate them.

Whatever RFC'ers do not take I will donate to a library. My goal is to get them in the hands of people who will appreciate them, be they RFC denizens or local people at a library sale. RFC gets first crack at them though.

This is so true. And if you volunteer to help with your local library book sale, you usually get first pick!
Several of you guys emailed me. I am not ignoring you. I have a major issue on my plate to take care of right now and sending out cookbooks is a lower priority. Also, when I ask "which books do you want?" and three of you say "all of them!" something has to give. Be specific. Which two or three books interest you most? Also, between the cost of the shipping materials and the USPS, I estimate shipping to be $5-$10 depending on the size/weight of the books. PayPal, checks, and money orders are fine. I prefer PayPal.
