Book giveaway

I have not nearly enough bookshelf space for all my books, so I'm giving a load away that I don't expect to read again.  (I think I've managed to keep this to things that are unambiguously mine rather than [personal profile] ghoti_mhic_uait's, but if not then I might need to withdraw the odd one of these offers.)  Let me know if you're interested in any of these, otherwise I plan to take them to a charity shop in a week or two.  Condition distinctly various (some covers damaged, spines generally broken, etc.), but they should all be readable enough.

  • David Eddings: The Hidden City (duplicate)
  • Raymond E. Feist: Riftwar Saga series et seq (Magician; Silverthorn; A Darkness at Sethanon; Prince of the Blood)
  • Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts: Empire Trilogy (Daughter of the Empire; Servant of the Empire; Mistress of the Empire)
  • Maggie Furey: The Artefacts of Power series, book 1-4 (Aurian; Harp of Winds; The Sword of Flame; Dhiammara); The Eye of Eternity

  • Robert Moore Williams: Zanthar of the Many Worlds
  • Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson: The Illuminatus! Trilogy

Books to recycle

We have a ridiculous excess of books, not so much compared to how many books I want to have in an ideal world, but certainly compared to how much space we have for storing them, so I'm going to start trying to cull them. Does anyone who I'm likely to see in the next month or two want any of these, for free? Otherwise I'll take them to a charity shop or similar.

Scott Adams: The Dilbert Future
Robert Asprin: Another Fine Myth
Tim Berners-Lee: Weaving the Web
Alex Boese: Elephants on Acid, and Other Bizarre Experiments
The Harvard Lampoon: Bored of the Rings
Seanan McGuire: October Daye, books 1-4 (Rosemary and Rue; A Local Habitation; An Artificial Night; Late Eclipses) - these were water-damaged thanks to the good care taken by a courier so we got replacement copies, but I believe they're still readable
Mil Millington: Things my girlfriend and I have argued about
New Scientist: Do Polar Bears Get Lonely?
Lemony Snicket: A Series of Unfortunate Events, books 1-3 (omnibus)
Keir Thomas: Beginning Ubuntu Linux

ETA: added the Lemony Snicket
