Princess Bibliophilia is looking to sell

As some of you know, I hauled a lot of books with me on my last move.

In my previous lives, I've given away - to a high school, and my old design school, and thrift shops - oh, probably upwards of a thousand books. Who knows, probably way more.

When I left my last abode, I tried to cull and sell, and did, at a local used book store back there in California. The culled that the store didn't want, I gave to thrifts.

Still, lotta books.


I wasn't out of my mind, no, no. Or not completely. I still am very fond of all the books I've been unpacking. And given I caught on to mailing them via the post office, the moving book total wasn't all that horrible. But.. a smaller house, together with some changed priorities, clues me in that I need to divest.

I have art books, a few of them fairly valuable, many rather ordinary but conceivably of interest to different folks.

Landscape architecture/urban planning/garden books - same story, and as with the art books, I'll be keeping .... some.

Cook books, a few of surprising value, most treasures only to me.

Books on Italy - I probably had 300, most of which I'd read at one point. I had been writing a book on piazzas, and I culled anecdotes from a variety of sources.. Now, I probably still have a publisher, still have my developed outlines, but am less and less likely to finish that as opposed to doing something else. And if I did, I have the old bibliography, and could improve on that with more recent information out there.
So, I will keep some of the books, but there's a big batch that can just go.

I'm not interested in donating, as I could use the moolah, and a donation deductible is not useful now.

So -

if you were me, would you try different book websites? Stick with one?
Use ebay (I'm an ebay naif)? Do you have a favorite to buy or sell from?

I do remember having one or two website addresses that bookstores use to check value, but... of course.... I've lost track of those. Anyone know?
