>I am seeking your advice on the disposal of unwanted stock items, which are
>not really appropriate for
>the book charities, I wouldn't have thought. And we do not have a list of the
>exact items, as we are not
>sure whether to invest the time in compiling such a list.

>We have, for example, about 200 LPs that we no longer want. They range in
>subject from traditional classics
>to light music (Maurice Chevalier); from musicals (Pal Joey) to world music
>(Songs of the Peloponnesos, or
>Chants revolutionaires de Chine). If anyone still maintains an LP collection,
>would you be interested in them?
>If interested in only a subset we could perhaps compile a list for you. Or does
>anyone have any advice on
>how to dispose of them. [You can probably tell from this that I am still very
>reluctant just to throw them in the bin!]
>
>We also have a large number of foreign language books (which again we have
>no itemised lists for).
>They are mainly in French, and German, with some Spanish and Italian, and a
>couple of other miscellaneous languages. They come from the estate of the
>late Jean Benedetti and reflect his interests, so are mainly on
>theatre/drama/performance topics or are the texts of dramatic works in
>those languages. For example, there
>might be a collection of Brecht's works in German. If anyone is interested in
>them (or subsets of them) then please contact me and we can discuss the
>items in further detail. We are happy to produce some guide to the contents
>if we know there is an interest, but it is a lot of work to undertake if no-one is
>going to want them.
>And if not for yourselves, any advice on who might be interested would be
>welcome.

>Many thanks,
