Free to a good home

emma_in_dreamI have inadvertently acquired someone else’s treasured childhood series of the 1960s/70s LIFE Science books and I want to offload them.
My neighbour has kindly given them to the kids because he wants them to have a good home. He is going overseas but they are of sentimental value to them. OTOH, I find them pretty repellent. I’ve randomly chosen three books and the food and nutrition volume is all about the virtues of pesticides, the water book praises big dam projects and the weather book features hilariously sexist photos of white men with pocket protectors looking at mammoth computer print outs of weather patterns while huge computers with wheels whir in the background.
I am hoping these would be of sentimental value to one of my friends? Who might want to take them off my hands, because I would feel bad about throwing them out when they mean so much to him.
