About 20 years ago, I bought out the entire library of a local R&D company for $10, including well over 50' of 7' high shelves of professional journals. (There were a number of books I wanted and I got more than my money's worth on those.} Anyway, I tried to sell the journals without a single nibble. Nobody wanted them. Luckily I bought the library on condition of not having to take what I didn't want, so didn't have to dealo with several tons of useless paper. There might be takers as a donation in India or something, IF you pay to ship them there. That's not for me.
