    UPDATE: Thanks for all of your help. The books have found a home.

    A tenant moved out a few months ago and left behind a massive bunch of books. They are all beautiful, color, coffee table picture books bound in hard covers. There's more than 60 of them and I want to get rid of the whole lot.

    He was a retired industrial designer so the books cover art, architecture, applied design, and commercial graphics. They are all about 20-30 years old. Many of them are full of post-its but are otherwise unmarked.

    The local public library won't take them, and nobody I've asked wants them. I simply don't have the heart to toss them in the dumpster. I don't care if they get cut up by school kids for goofy art-class collages, as long as they get used for something other than land fill.

    They weigh a couple hundred pounds so you need to come pick them up in West Petaluma. Maybe a maker-space could put them in their library? Anybody? Bueller?
