Answer #1

Most off all you have too sell them on the internet because most bookstroes went take old books because off they went sell as fast as the new one.

Answer #2

They’re going to be worth something to collector’s mostly. There are auction houses (such as sotheby’s) that would be able to help do an auction, if it was the kind of material that they represented.

Alternatively, there is ebay or craigslist, you can post ads either place for sale, describe item with a picture then say that you’re looking to sell them for the highest bid and name some outrageous figure. You may get people to contact you that way with “it’s only worth X” if they are seriously interested that try to negotiate the price down.

Good luck.
