We Buy Books!
We are always looking for quality used books, and we buy in any quantity from single volumes to entire libraries. If you have questions about whether we would be interested in your books, please feel free to email, or call us at 315-437-2312.
You do not have to call ahead to bring books in, and we are happy to look at books any day of the week. However, if you have a lot of books (more than 200), or if your books are 60+ years old, calling ahead is suggested. This helps us be prepared to look through your books quickly and efficiently.
Below are some answers to frequently asked questions about our book buying policy. Please note that these are guidelines only, and there are exceptions to every rule!
 Condition, condition, condition - The better the condition of your books, the more likely we are to buy them. If they're water-damaged or moldy, or heavily highlighted or underlined, chances are we will not be interested.
Buy-backs - We do not guarantee buy-back of books you bought from us, though we often will take them.
Sets - We do not often buy sets of books. If you have a large set, for example The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, we suggest bringing in one or two sample volumes rather than the entire set. We do NOT buy encyclopedias.
Textbooks - We do not normally buy textbooks, except very recent ones.
Romances - At the moment we are not buying the following: Regency romances, series romances such as Harlequin, Silhouette.
Comic Books - We are especially interested in the Golden Age comics (pre-1950), and don't normally buy anything more recent.
Magazines - We do buy some older magazines (pre-1960). We do not buy adult magazines such as Playboy, Penthouse, etc.
Reader's Digest Condensed Books - We do NOT buy these. |
