Did you ever wonder where the Romans got bread from? It wasn't from Waitrose!
You might also think about trying senior centres and old age homes if you go the donation route. My dad was an armchair historian and had a fuckton of books on the American Civil War, WWII, Americana and that, plus my mom had loads of sewing, quilting, and knitting books and magazines.

The local senior centre was always looking for books on those kind of subjects, and when we showed up, a number of the centre's members pounced like piranhas on a cow that's fallen into the Amazon. It took me a couple of trips since there were a heck of a lot of books and magazines, and all I had was a little car -- we'd pull up in front of the main doors, and there were already a couple of the older guys waiting for us. The oldies there were sick to the back teeth of people unloading whatever the latest potboiler or remaindered Book of the Month club book was on them, and the specialists books seriously went down a treat.
