I have quite a few nice Unix/Linux and Security books (mostly Oreilly) which I do not use but they are in good condition and not that old that anyone can't use it. Is there a place I can donate them where people can really make use of them? They are 10 - 12 big books.

Well, I don't know where you can donate them, though some open library could take them. However, if you have "Linux Multimedia Guide" - by Jeff Tranter, I would like to have that book. The details, could be discussed offlist.

This seems to be a very interesting thought. No book is old, as all software is a version of the older, thus even an old book can give you quite a good insight into the thought and technology that has gone into creating the software.
How about a common repository hosted somewhere, where all the old and new books can be deposited?
I used to run a computer training institute and have a large collection of such books, I would be happy to donate them, also they cover all topics including M$ software :)

Many of them are not even old so I think th os ewill be surely useful to others. Why keep things that you can't use or can't get to use?!

This will be nice. Infact it would be a nice time that someone comes up and opens a free library for the LUG that we can put such books in and anyone from the LUG can get a book if available. Just a thought.

Well I don't have that one unfortunately. If I had it, I would surely hand it to you.
