Good morning guys, I have a question in regard to collection of Astronomy books, some 130 in all, which i have collected over the past 30 years or so, and all are in excellent to mint condition.
Before we decided to do some traveling they, the books were proudly displayed on my book shelf in the computer room that Alice and I shared, we did call it our play room.
Now the books are stored, and could be in storage for years, who knows.
I thought I might donate these books to an Astronomical Society or such as a one off whole collection, and was wondering do theses societies accept this sort of offer, the offer is free of coarse.
I would rather see these books put to good use rather than just sitting in storage.
Your answer would be appreciated.

. The other option is to auction/sell them off and donate the proceeds to various causes that are helping the thousands of people that are in dire need - not just here in Brisbane, but also Central Qld, Victoria, in fact all around the country. This country seems to be at the mercy of nature and various other elements at the moment. Maybe even approach a charity organisation and donate to them to auction/sell them. I know that I will certanly be looking at some books to buy (being new to this hobby), and I would rather buy them of such an organisation than of an overseas distributor.
