I previously posted this question about a year ago. My wife and I are looking at downsizing, and we would like to find good homes for a load of English-language books. (Mostly fiction and ELT books.) Thriftbooks would have been an option if they actually operated in Switzerland (which they don’t) otherwise Ricardo/eBay are pretty lousy solutions - time consuming and costly. I’ve looked at places like the Bücher-Brocky in Aarau but their handling of books leads me to think they recycle more than they rehome. Last time I asked, some people helpfully pointed me at Bücherbergwerk in Bern but they were closed for ages, and now that they have reopened, they don’t appear to be accepting donations . One person seemed interested in my ELT collection, but then disappeared. The frequently suggested idea of setting up a “free books” table/shelf outside the house remains a possibility, with the risk of just collecting even more unwanted books. Are there any other suggestions? The English books in question: Fiction & non-fiction Computer books TEFL books submitted by /u/ralphonsob
