im trying to get the dark wizards hat, is there any way to drop books or only give certin books to the headmaster

AFAIK you can choose if to give or not the book to the teacher - if you have another fitting one, it'll be offered in the next turn; if not, you just have got to find a right one. It's the usual way for people wanting the dark hat - or so i'm told. Never have bothered myself, though, never saw any reason.
Okvale shop sells books, but i never have tried to sell one.
Probably the Charity shop might be buying, but it's long way ahead (otherwise you probably wouldn't care about it)

List of books for dark hat

You can find a list of books that work for getting the dark hat here:

The best thing to do is to collect only these books. If you say "no" to donating a book, the game generally keeps asking about that same book.

Strategy: only get books from the second floor of the guild dormitory and books from Bowerstone. If you're still short, then get The Pale Balverine and/or Twinblade's Tale from the guild library. Even if you grab the wrong book at this point, the preponderance of dark hat books will weigh in your favor.
