Seeking the Sea...

I currently have a supply of Oregon Coastal Cities visitors guides (I work at a Visitor Center) and am wondering if anyone is currently enamored with the sea, beaches, coastal images, etc. & would be interested in some for collage material? We're cleaning house, out with the old & in with the new kinda thing, and I'm sad to be tossing so many into recycle... Maybe I could swap some materials with someone? Can we do that sort of thing here? Let me know your thoughts, please :)
