- Go through textbooks and get rid of the ones that are too old and outdated.
- Cookbooks - Click to read about how to hide cookbooks that are out in your kitchen.
- Reference books and get rid any outdated reference books that you don't want to keep.
- Outdated Phonebooks - we all get them and sometimes forget to get rid of the old ones.
- Self-help books - review any self-help books and donate the ones that you don't want.
- Business books - if you have business books, go through them and decide if you want them.
