I have a lot of books, including many I am sure to never open again. Imagine my excitement to find this post on Unclutterer (a great blog that's name should clue you into the theme) entitled "How to Use Powell's Books for Uncluttering." I am originally from Seattle, so I have in fact had the chance to visit the amazing Powell's City of Books in Portland, OR, billed as the largest new and used bookstore in the world. Thanks to Unclutterer, I got to feel connected to the Pacific Northwest and get rid of many of my books that were just taking up space at the same time.
What you do is go to the Powell's website and type in the ISBN numbers for the books you would like to get rid of. They will tell you if they want them or not and offer you an amount of store credit. You can then accept their offer and they will give you a mailing label to print out. Box up the books, stick on the label and drop it at the post office - the postage is paid for by Powell's. Couldn't be easier! I dropped off my first load today and am about 45 books lighter and looking forward to my store credit once they receive and check the books.
