We will gratefully received some remarkable donations of valuable zoological, botanical, ecological, geological, or general scientific interest books that have gone into our own library or been auctioned to raise funds that make a real difference to what the Trust can achieve.

If you think your books are of special zoological, botanical, ecological, geological, or general scientific interest value and you would like to donate them to the Trust please e-mail mike@worcestershirewildlifetrust.org with the subject heading Book Donations and a description of the collection; if it’s one or a few books, please provide details of individual titles, authors, date and condition. We will come back to you as soon as we can to make arrangements for collection or give further advice.

Before you consider donating your books to the Trust we would ask that you assess them with these questions in mind:

1. Are they of special zoological, botanical, ecological, geological, or general scientific interest value? If so, they could be appropriate for the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust library or be worthwhile selling on Ebay or at auction.
2. Are they in good condition but part of incomplete sets or not out of the ordinary?
3. Are they general guides and general nature books that have been well loved and used? The most loved and used guides could be valuable for other enthusiasts who browse the shelves of your local charity shops.
4. Books can be expensive to post and to handle and transport in numbers so it pays to be realistic about the most cost-effective way of dealing with them. The best option may be for you to sell to a local book dealer or auction - you may wish to kindly donate all or some of the proceeds to the Trust.
5. We have some regular givers who donate sums from books (or other items) that they sell on Ebay.

How do you find out if your book is of special zoological, botanical, ecological, geological, or general scientific interest value?

• You can check the value of your books online. AbeBooks is a useful site where you can check values and compare the condition of your own volumes.
• If you have a large collection of books it may be worth asking a local second-hand book dealer to assess them for you or check with auction houses in your area to see whether they provide free valuations.
• Book dealers can offer very useful advice on what is saleable and may make you an offer for all or part of your collection depending on their interests.
• Auction houses work on taking a percentage of the sale and will do their best to assemble interesting lots and give you realistic estimates of value.

Would you like to raise money for the Trust whilst enjoying the spring flowers of the Burren or Mallorca, birdwatching on the Isle of Mull or from your houseboat in the Romanian Danube Delta or enjoying a ‘trip of a lifetime’ in Chile?
