Hello David, We started using Cash4YourBooks last month. They sent us 25 boxes in advance so that we could start packing and, when we were ready, they sent a truck driver to pick up the boxes. They wanted us to have the boxes on a pallet, but we could not do it and they still took them. Many colleagues have recommended Better World Books. I will try them next time. I hope this t helps, Rogelio Hinojosa | Acquisitions Librarian Texas A&M International University Sue & Radcliffe Killam Library 5201 University Boulevard | Laredo, Texas | 78041 email: rhinojosa_at_tamiu.edu<mailto:rhinojosa_at_tamiu.edu> office: 956.326.2123 P Please consider the environment before printing this email. ________________________________ [cid:9189db15d69c43a9a5ea98a1eca9eda7] Rogelio H Hinojosa Acquisitions Librarian Killam Library KLM-214C 5201 University Blvd. Laredo, TX 78041 Tel.

We, too, have been using Better World Books, but recently made a change to our service plan which leaves us unable to send a fairly large number of books to them, and we don’t have the means to divert resources to recycling ourselves.
