"Hi. I'm Laura from Youngwritersworkshops.com and I'm going to talk about what to do with old edition text books. The great thing is there's so many different market places for your old textbooks. Most bookstores if you're speaking of college textbooks most bookstores will take them back and they also may be able to point you to places to recycle them or donate them if they're not able to take them. Another great outlet is things like Amazon.com or Ebay where you can list your own, set a price and people will email you or you'll be emailed once someone has purchased them and then you just ship them. For some textbooks that might be a great way to do it because if your university or college isn't using those books anymore then they may be able to find a buyer in a different area that is interested and can use them. There are also probably a lot of local schools or student groups that could use a donation so if you are looking to donate them you should research what's available in your area you may be able to use your books as a donation. So those are some ideas about what you can do with old edition textbooks."
