I’m decluttering and have a selection of text books my daughter bought for her American Studies degree about 20 years ago . Any ideas what to do with them ? It seems a shame to put them in the recycle bin as all in good condition ? Any ideas?

Have you had a look at World of Books, they buy books too, you won't get a lot for them but it saves them from being binned. I sold 6 old text books recentky and got about £1 but it saved them from the bin

Unless they are current editions they won't have any value.

Yeh agree World of Books. It's super easy you just get the app and then scan the books – as long as they have ISBN numbers they will scan. I have used it to sell books that are 20 years old for sure. You get 20p or 50p or maybe £1 per book; once you have xx books or £YY (like, 12 books or a fiver) you can box them up and put in an Inpost locker. So easy. I don't work for them btw! but I just took a box of books and I'll get £7.90 for them.
