If you really need the money, check into the buy back program at www.textbooksrus.com - they buy back more than just textbooks plus shipping to them is free. Most books I've sold back make between $1 -$5. It's been a great way to make a little extra cash when we've been short.

To get more books in less vertical wall space, and to still be mobile, for every 6 foot bookcase I own, I got a two foot book-case, and stacked it on top.
