* http://www.bookcrossing.com/ - a community of book lovers who enjoy sharing our books with others. It's a simple process of adding a BookCrossing label to your books and then “releasing” them into the wild. And then logging into the site to see who finds them and where in the world they end up.  It's fun and exciting to “follow” your books as they travel around the world and take on a life of their own. Who knows where they'll go and who will find them and return to the site to enter the ID from your labels...
Books can also be sold on eBay, Gumtree, local Facebook selling groups, WeBuyBooks and similar - it's worth encouraging any route that keeps books in circulation.
