Not mentioned in this thread but also worth checking out (and much closer for me!) is the Book Rack in Arlington, next door to the Regent Theater.
Independent bookstore that sells both new and used books. They accept gently used books and give a store credit in return. Trade policy here.
Turns out that More Than Words has drop boxes all over the place. I found one just a couple of miles from where I live and fed it all of my books the other day. Really glad to have been able to do this instead of some alternative, especially just junking the books (which is what I did last time I cleaned out my shelves a few years ago, because I couldn’t find anyone at the time who would take them). Thanks again for the suggestion, @Madrid!
I’m glad to spread the word about More Than Words and I’m glad it is helpful to you and to them!
Just found one near me in Haverhill, so I’ll have to remember this thread when I want to cull my books (which I need to do…along with clothes, and just “stuff”).
