   Yes, you send out the receipts, and you let the donor assign the value of the book. My accountant said it is what it would have sold for at a garage sale when I donated a lot of things this past year to determine the value to declare on my taxes.

   I read your 360. What you wrote is very insightful. Why have you not added anything to it? I have been having problems because of not seeking enough from God. Your message was a reminder of what I need to do. Thanks.

   Just list the books (or even the number of books), the date of contribution, your organization, and the name of the donor, on your receipt for donations.

   You are not required to determine the value for tax purposes.
