After 35 years , I am leaving the USA next month, and I don't know what to do with my extensive book collection. I am getting rid of ALL my belogings to start a fresh beginning in Denmark, and letting go of my books is the only thing that I have a hard time with. There are thousands of books, including 40 or 50 boxes of old and rare BOOKS IN HERBREW. I tried to sell them here in Southern California, but stores wouldn't even drive over to pick them up.
There are hundreds of first editions and just old Hebrew books that might be valuable to the right collector: Early translations of Knut Hansun, 'Also sprach Zarathustra' and many other authors from the very early 1900's and some books that are even older. There are some books there that are worth real 'shekels'.
There are also many books in English, Danish, hundreds of old dictionaries, hundreds of old cook books, art, literature, philosophy, religion, etc.
At this point I will sell them for any nominal price, give them away or donate them to anybody who'll cherish it enough to pay for the shipment.
If nobody steps up, I will probably have to order a dumpster and trash the whole lot. It breaks my heart just to think about it.
Can you think of anybody who may want to pick them up?
