Tell HN: Free Books (apartment clearing)
I have some books I’d like to get rid of. Many are tangentially relevant to the HN community, so I’m giving them away “first come, first serve” (contact information in my profile), but you’ll pay shipping cost from the bay area. Any unclaimed books will go to the local library.

- ColinWright 14y agoI'd be interested in a few, but postage to the UK is likely to cost you more than I'd have to pay buying direct from Amazon (or similar). Shame, really, since the intersection between this list and my own books suggests our tastes are similar (in some regard). Good luck.
- suyash 14y agoI'd like to pick up: Influence: Science and Practice tonight, if that is possible. I can meet you on campus or somewhere in PA
- freshfey 14y agoMay I suggest another option? The Startup Owner's Manual, Elements of Typographic Style, Missing Manual: Photoshop CS5 and Classroom in a Book: Illustrator CS5 are likely to bring in around 30-50$ if you trade them in on Amazon. I'll organize the shipping label and the package slip, you send them to amazon and we share the gift card amount :)
