How to rehome your old books

We are hoping to present more lists of free books in the coming months. Several individuals have contacted us and are doing the preparatory work so we can list them. If you are cleaning out your bookshelves please let us know so we can help you direct the excess to someone who the books. Listing your excess books with us is free to you. You'll need to provide us this information: A. Title of each book including edition numbers where available B. Names of the author(s) C. Name of the publisher D. Year of publication E. ISBN number All of this information should be emailed to us in a Word document or Excel spreadsheet. Please try to avoid using a PDF document as it causes formatting issues for us. After you send the list to us and we publish it, all further communications will be between you and the individuals who are requesting the book. It is our suggestion that you create a separate email address for this function as some books generate a lot of inquiries. You will also need an easy way to accept payment for shipping & handling. Most people use platforms like Venmo and Zelle although there are other options available that you may prefer. You will need to establish a shipping & handling price. We recommend setting one or two standard prices (for single or multiple books). Most people find using USPS Priority Mail works well for this purpose. USPS includes a free, self sealing box as part of their pricing. Additionally, prices are based on box size - not on the weight of the shipment. You'll be able to provide a price for a medium size carton (typical for single books) and a large size box (good for 2-4 books ). Once you receive a request and determine that the book is still on your shelf all you need to do is tell the reader what it will cost for shipping, accept their payment, box the book(s) up, and then either take the boxes to your local post office or hand them to your letter carrier. Many of the older books in your library are in big demand. This is a method to ensure they continue to be of use and it avoids the unsettling task of throwing them away or shredding them. The book that is of no value to you any longer is of big use to someone else. Need more information? Contact us at info@epimonitor.net |
