But I think most of the items on this list are worth reading or keeping (which is why I didn't get rid of them in the last 5 purges) and I will gain some value in the satisfaction that somebody I know might get a chance to appreciate them.

And what's this about a no sale condition? It is like you're putting on a commercial free/share alike license on an Object... Of course... since it is not being sold, it doesn't count as a first sale... stopping now. Perhaps we could reach an equitable trade of feynman & activism, inc.

It's in most libraries if I need to refer to it again. Hasn't been off the shelf in over a year. Basically, I'm making a big effort to keep only books of regular reference value, books I haven't and want to read (again) or books with significant sentimental attachment. Everything else must go! We just cleared an entire bookcase and reclaimed almost 10 square feet of our apartment. That's like 2%! Yeah. I read it. It’s in most libraries if I need to refer to it again.

That's like one of those books you keep for life and never goes out of style. I wish I could have grabbed that. Looks like you're parting with a lot of good ones.
