Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Still no Home for Books - Is the only Solution to Bin them?
Back in January, I posted about a pile of work-related type books I want to get rid of. They've proved impossible to give away, which seems rather strange.
Is the only solution to bin them?

c. 220 in Russian, mostly literature but not all plus books (less but I'm not sure how many) in English on Russian lit crit, history, bit of other stuff.

Hmm That's a lot. Would you be willing to select about 20 Russian literature ?. It's just to give as a present to a Russian Lady friend. Don't worry if you can't be bothered.

The charity shops next to Tesco’s and Baldwin’s accepted a lot of obscure books from me a couple of weeks ago

I booked a slot at Haringeys recycling centre - they have bins there for all books - think they go to British Heart Foundation?

Thanks. I didn’t know that. It seems more hopeful than just binning them.

Exactly - it always makes me feel Nazi in jackboots if I have to throw a book away - it has to be beyond repair before I do!

Vanitas vanitatum, omnia sunt vanitas. Harringay badly needs a Fra Savonarola to organise regular Bonfires of the Vanities. Yes, even Charles Handy and Clay Shirky. All books are clutter. Let 'em go, Hugh!
