Is there anything I can do with old textbooks except putting out for the trash?
They are mostly accounting books from the early 90’s, so much of the information would be out-of-date.
It just seems criminal to throw away books.

Well, we have a hole in the floor (old ulitility room, we had the washing machine in it), and we put a dresser over it and put my 8th grade pre-algerba book over it. Other than that, I can be of no help
One word: Origami!
Hard-core book collectors might be interested.
Give your local library a call and see if they’d be interested. If anything, they may be able to tell you about any organizations which may have a use for them, like adult education. Even if some of the info is outdated, I’m sure the basic principals are still valid.
An old science textbook is pretty much useless. You might get some use out of a history text.
Math texts would have the longest shelf life I imagine.
About 2-3 years ago there was an organization in NoCal that was sending textbooks to China (books of any vintage) for use in schools there. I phoned the organization’s 800 number and found that the books had to be delivered or mailed to an address at the Port of Oakland. Funds and time prevented this, so I simply donated the books to a local charity. I’ve since heard that there are similar drives to send textbooks to Third World countries. It might take a little research, but am sure that there are groups out there that would welcome them.
Thanks for your suggestions.
I’d be interested in any history books you may have.
