So, Ping has been clearing out. We now have a big pile of books and CDs to be got rid of, and most of them are in Chinese. The general desirability level is not high, at least if the English parts are anything to go by (Ace of Base? Roxette?). Your advice is sought. This would be a poll, if I knew how to do polls (they may be a paid-member-only feature, I suppose).

Anyhow, tell us what to do. We should:

1. bin the lot
2. give the English-language stuff to Oxfam and bin the rest
3. give it all to Oxfam and let them deal with it

Ping was going for 1; I've got us as far as 2. Anyone who can authoritatively push us to 3, please do. Alternatively, if you yourself want a carrier-bag full, just say the word...

Take the lot to a Soho charity shop, or the Charing Cross library

I couldn't think of a charity shop around Chinatown, but I suppose there must be. I'm going to look for the one [livejournal.com profile] purpletigron mentioned, next time I'm there.

Charing Cross library hadn't occurred to me at all... good thought.

The Oxfam search engine suggests one at Covent Garden, but the library can probably suggest who might take donations
