I missed the original thread due to being away and a jammed up "inbox". 
I too had a problem with too many books occupying too much space. So I 
boxed them up and took them to my county library. They were happy to 
take about half of them (but they are tight on space also), but I still 
had a lot more (mostly science fiction collected during over about 50 
years and other fiction) to get rid of. Another carload went to an ATIS 
member who found homes for them, and the rest went to town hall - they 
have a couple of shelves of orphan books that anyone can have. I still 
have a couple hundred more that I need to get rid of...

I kept all my tractor books, of course. :-)
