    Can anyone give me some practical advice about donating
    books, records, and video tape to my local library and
    deducting it as a charitable contribution?  J.K. Lasser's
    is kind of esoteric on the subject (it gives an example of 
    a U.S. Senator trying to deduct the value of his personal 
    papers).  

    Has anyone ever done this?  How do I establish the worth of
    10 year old technical books?   Or slightly used vinyl
    opera recordings?  Also, what about donating stuff to the 
    salvation army, like clothes?
