It is strange, this business of recycling old books onto so called developing countries has been around for years, and with the development of new technologies, the whole thing has become stranger and stranger.
I wonder how vast the literature now might be? A task for a 3rd year student?

I doubt anyone would want to spend money shipping biomedical books that are 10 years old to developing countries. People in developing countries generally need access to current knowledge. I would suggest recycling them.
