In addition to the boxes and shelves of books that I need to cull and bag up for donation to the local library, I have decades worth of magazines (Ellery Queen, Asimov’s, and Analog) that are now doing nothing but taking up space. I know I’m never going to re-read them, but I haven’t been able to find anyone who would be interested in taking them off my hands. And even if I could find someone, I’ve got no way to pack them up and ship them anywhere. The thought of just taking them to the dump for recycling goes against all my instincts. I’m sure some of them might be considered collectable.
I’ve already decided to let my subscriptions lapse when they come up for renewal later this year, to avoid adding to the problem.
