Donating is the best way to support us. Please consider donating your items if you don’t especially need to sell. Bookstores won’t be around forever, and every donation helps us stay in business longer. Books we can’t use are re-donated for charitable purposes as we find need. You can drop your donations off at the store during open hours.
How selling books for in-store credit works. Bring in your books to the store. We will evaluate the books and make you an offer for in-store credit. Usually 20-50% of what we can re-sell your books for. About $1.00-3.00 per book.
