Better World Books seems to be a good option, too. They provide the
boxes and pay for shipping the material. This is the website:

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone has experience using BlueRectangle.com 
<http://www.bluerectangle.com/>?  It is a site that purchases
books from libraries and individuals and then resells them.
Their advertising indicates that they are particularly interested 
in textbooks and other non-fiction. 

In my brief look at their site I thought it seemed to be an easy 
solution to the problem of how to dispose of unwanted material 
without actually trashing it -  and perhaps make a little bit of 
money for the library materials budget at the same time.

Has anyone out there tried them?  I'm looking for any kind of 
feedback. 

Thanks!
