Does anyone know of any places that accept used English language books? I'm not looking to sell them, really - just to get rid of them in a way that makes them likely to end up eventually in the hands of someone who wants them, other than the paper recycling people.

Hi
How many books you have now? May be I can take most part of them,coz I am study on it!

I have given most of them away already. I have about 10-15 left.

Can try contacting this bookstore to see if they will take them:

I think Epicurve on Nanchang lu use to have some sort of book drop off thing going on...but I'm not quite sure if it does anymore.

What do you have, I am always looking for good books?

Also the community center in Pudong has a book area. I am sure they would take them.

If u are familiar with the Nanjing Rd shopping area, near the Landmark shopping mall, there is a second book shop on the side way, tiny size but has a good collection, several shelves of fiction/non fiction, I go there frequently to buy Time, Newsweek magazines etc. Not sure if the owner there will have a problem to accept free books and sell for a profit
