Books on Tape? Deacquistioning
Oct. 5th, 2020 03:14 pmIf you would like some books on tape, and by this I mean actual, honest to god, cassette tapes, I am getting rid of my collection. To be clear, deacquistioning makes me tired and sad, so I am not dusting, sorting, or cataloging. I have almost entirely unabridged editions (any abridged editions would have been purchased on accident), and it is largely sff and mystery, with some classics and nonfiction. If you are looking for something particular, and I think I have it, I will try to find it for you. But all this lot goes to the Goodwill in a couple of days.
I know that I have some Heinlein, Doomsday Book by Connie Willis, a number of Jane Austen books, the Harper Hall books by McCaffrey, Dragonflight and Dragonsinger, The Hobbit, all of LOTR, Dune, a bunch of Robert B. Parker, some Sue Grafton, a fair amount of Dorothy Sayers. At least some of the Laura Ingalls Wilder, I don't think I managed to acquire the entire series before I stopped collecting books on tape.
I will cheerfully drive a butt load of audio books to anywhere in the Twin Cities. If you want the lot, I would be utterly charmed. I could be talked into shipping them, but you really need to be taking a bunch of them in order for it to be worth my while to make it the post office.
It is always wrenching to me to give up possessions that at one point I cherished, even if they are not longer useful to me. It feels like giving up a part of myself. And yet, time waits for no man, and I'm not even a man. So, then.
