Are you an avid reader looking to make space on your shelves for new favorites?  Trade in your books with us and earn trade credit to spend towards your next purchase of used books.  

​

Earning store credit

Due to our limited space, we need to be selective with the books we take for trade credit. Books not selected can be donated to our free bin or returned to you! We typically give $1-3 per book, depending on the market  value of the book. We do not offer cash for books.

​

We are looking for:

• Recent books (typically published within the last 2 years) in gently-used condition

• Trade paperbacks are preferred, with the exception of new release hardcovers

• Graphic novels

• Manga

• Vintage sci-fi and fantasy paperbacks in good used condition

• Comic books in fine or near mint condition

• We accept children's books based on age, condition, and saleability​

 

Spending your store credit

Your trade credit is applied towards half the price of any used book.
