I'm sorta-kinda on my way with it, I've redesigned (aka re-organized and bought stuff) our kitchen to look more like a "breakfast nook" - booth and all! We now have shelves above it w/ all these books i've read. i love it. but to answer your question, i'd just sell it all on CL or give them away on the blog (if finance related), or donate to thrift stores and/or used book stores if they are around.

I got rid of a few books for the first time in YEARS a few months ago...it's so hard to let go! But I'm definitely limited by bookcase space. I’m with you on the book collecting.

I did a big purge when I moved but now I find when I get something new, I get rid of something old to keep things in check. Big time problems with books and kitchen gadgets.
