Anyone got an idea where one would sell old books or magazines? Shipping could well be a pain on this as there's around 40 years of Combat Handguns, American Handgunner and Gun Digests back to 1957 as well as all the Handloader Digests.
Realistically at age 72 I'm probably not going to be digging through them anymore!

First of all, forget donating them to a school, museum, or anything like that. I did once. The guy from the paper recycling place called me and wanted to know if I wanted my books back. They threw about $500 of first edition hunting and history books into the recycle bin. NEVER AGAIN!
Choice two, give them to someone on this BB who will pay for the shipping.
Sell on E-bay, you will get about $.25 to $.50 each.

There are people who collect those digest volumes. I cleaned out that kind of stuff a couple of years ago and sold my gun digest books at the local yearly gun show.
Also had a complete set of the American Rifleman from the early 60's to the present. Rather that go through the bother of trying sell them, I just put them all in the club house at one of the outfits that I belong. They all disappeared.

I have a similar “problem” with my Handloader magazines. They go back to 1979 and are bound in the Handloader binders. Two years worth in each binder. The subscription ran out 2-issues ago and I'm not renewing anymore. The shelf space they consume could be better used for something else.

You guys are going to oversupply the market and make it hard for me to get rid of my Gun Digests, Handloader, and Rifle Magazines at fantastic prices. I have already given away a complete set of Am Rifleman from 1952 and a cubic yard of National Geographics going back to 1911. No I was not the subscriber. I acquired them when we bought a cabin in the woods and I foolishly thought my grandkids might like to thumb through them when they visited but I couldn't get them onto their smart phones.
I would have been an interested buyer when I was 25. Just the pictures of beautiful rifles in the Gun Digests and Rifle magazine covers should be worth something but I guess not. To the gun club they go.

I attempted to talk our club into a club library where members could donate books and magazines they no longer wanted. Still being “considered".....

I'm looking for 1950 or earlier Gun Digests if you want to sell

Earliest I have is 1957. I'll either get rid of them all or keep em' anyway.

There is a informal swap table in the Range Officer's trailer at our range. Leave what you have and pick up what you want. It sort of feeds itself and I often find things of interest. Note: Watch you don't take more home than you are getting rid ... Rus
