old reading books

[eophenia.livejournal.com]

I have a lot of used, paper back books that I had to buy to read in school that I will never read/look at ever again. Normally, I would just try to keep the book as new looking as possible so that I can return it when we're done reading it, but I have a lot that have been damaged/written in/highlighted etc. and I don't know what to do with them. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I also have three hard back books and I lost their receipts. I don't know what to do with those either. I would make box books but some of them are quite lengthy [David Copperfield] and I don't feel like cutting out 877 pages. Any suggestions at all are welcome.
