After mother went into the assisted living center, we began clearing out her house and a big wall of books. Most of the books went back to those that had gifted them to mother and dad. The rest went up for grabs by the rest of the family. Whatever was left came home with us. I started listing them for sale on Amazon this afternoon. The process for listing the books is easy and straight forward.

I did a search on the book title (most of them are old enough that they don’t have an ISBN number … that stands for an International Standard Book Number). If the book is for sale somewhere on Amazon or affiliates, up comes a button “Sell my book” (if not, there’s a rather arduous process to get a new listing). I clicked on the button, listed the information, uploaded pictures, and viola, the book is available for sale. By the time I wrapped up for tonight I had twelve books (if I’ve counted right) listed for sale. A couple of them are worth some serious dollars. I’ve got another thirty or forty books to get listed. Any that don’t sell in the next three months I’ll send to Deseret Industries for disposition.

There’s an interesting side effect of the Olympics. NBC has been really touting their lineup … enough so that I’ve actually become quite interested in watching two of them: “About a Boy” and “Growing Up Spencer”. I’ll probably record them both to watch at a later time and decide whether to watch more of it. The reviews of both look fairly positive. I don’t watch very much television, so it’ll take a lot to capture my attention.

Ta ta for now!
