How to sell math/physics textbooks in Europe?

AI Thread Summary
Selling undergraduate physics and mathematics textbooks in Belgium has proven challenging due to the lack of demand for these specific titles in local universities. The seller has attempted platforms like Facebook Marketplace and eBay without success. Recommendations for finding buyers include exploring Amazon's second-hand book section, which may attract a more targeted audience. The seller is open to selling the books at a good price, emphasizing their excellent condition and the desire to clear space in their library.

Hello everyone,

I don't know if that's the correct place to ask this (didn't want to pollute the science and math textbooks recommendations), sorry if it is not.

I have undergraduate physics and mathematics textbooks that I am trying to sell. I live in Belgium and I bought textbooks recommended on physicsforums (mainly recommended textbooks in the US it seems).

I tried Facebook Marketplace and ebay without success because these books are not used by the belgian universities.

The books are in perfect conditions and I am willing to let them go for a good price. I have no use of them and they just take dust in my library.

Would you have some recommendations on how to find buyers in Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany preferred)?

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll try that. :)
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
