Michael, that is a wonderful set of ideas. eBay may indeed be the best
option, otherwise we'll hunt around for an interested local group to
donate them to per your suggestions. If I use eBay I'll put some images
up in one of my blogs so buyers can see this is by no means a perfectly
preserved set.

thank you very much,

john

We have a complete set of Washington Irving's works -- dated about
1850. Not in perfect shape (at least one book has a partly separated
binding) but quite readable.

We're looking for a home for these. Is there a place that would want
them? Otherwise we'll drop them by the local used bookstore, where
they're most likely to end up in the trash.

We're not looking for money -- though it would be good to cover the
cost of shipping. They've been in my wife's family for some years so
we'd like a home for them.
