Children's Classics
3 Answers
Does anyone remember a series of classics, presumably for children since I seem to remember buying them with pocket money, published by - well, I'm not sure. On the outside is printed Collins (but one is Oxford) but inside it's clearly Thomas Nelson and Sons. I have four, two of them are in a green binding with a green cardboard sleeve, the other two are in blue binding, no sleeve.
I don't imagine they are of any value. I'm de-cluttering and am about to get rid of them, but I don't like throwing books away; does anyone know whether charity shops would welcome them, or would they simply throw them out? If the latter, I'll hang on to them.

However Oxfam has far more space for books than most other charities (simply because it has lots of shops that sell nothing other than books) and would probably offer them to buyers as 'collectable children's' editions.
