One suggestion is to donate them as raffle prizes to various symposiums. As an example, the Jefferson Symposium is in August at Jefferson. Hood's Texas Brigade Assc Symposium is in November at the CW Museum of Texas in Fort Worth. Also, some of the local CW Round Tables raffle off books at their monthly meetings to raise money. Houston, Austin, and Fort Worth have Round Tables and maybe some others.

A couple of years ago, I cleaned out my bookcases and wound up with two large boxes of books in excellent condition which I donated to the library of a small school in my home town even though I only attended the first grade there. The librarian said the books she could not use she would sale to a second hand store in Cleburne and put the money in the library fund.
