OUR BOOKS We carry new and used books. They are arranged according to fiction category or non-fiction subject matter. All fiction is filed alphabetically by the author’s last name within each category. Most used merchandise is 50% of the cover price UNLESS it is marked otherwise.
WE ACCEPT most paperback and hardback books, college and homeschooling textbooks, study guides, workbooks if they are deemed sellable and within our trade-in guidelines.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT DVD, CD, VHS videos, Readers Digest condensed fiction, USED study guides, workbooks, lab manuals, previously-issued school textbooks, computer software, video games, magazines and journals, older Harlequin or Harlequin Presents, books in poor condition or that has an odor or any item we believe we cannot sell.
CONDITION – Please bring in only books that are in clean, readable condition with covers and spines intact. Books should not smell of cigarette smoke. Heavy underlining/highlighting is not acceptable. Moldy or torn books, spiders, bugs, pet hair, and dirt are not very inviting, and we ask that you sort these out before bringing them in. We will refuse to evaluate books that may pose a hazard to the health of our staff. While both hardcover and paperback books have used bookstore appeal, a marked, highlighted, tattered, dog eared book loses value fast. A paperback book loses its value if the binding is stretched or the pages are bent. To eliminate creases, use a bookmark and stop folding those pages. Don’t over-flex the binding; most paperbacks will split easily. We always prefer to a hardcover book with its dust jacket, but don’t let that stop you from bringing us the ones that lack them, but realize only high demand ones are normally taken.
INVENTORY – Due to space limitations, we may have to turn down good quality books. Your books will always be checked against our current inventory. Internal guidelines dictate how many copies of each book we will keep on hand at any given time.
TRADING: Store credit is issued for items you wish to trade with us. Your credit has NO expiration date. Once you accept the credit for your merchandise, that credit cannot be changed and merchandise becomes store property. If you leave your books on our porch or by the front door, they will receive NO credit as we will not be responsible for figuring out where they came from. These items will be considered a donation.
CREDIT – We issue trade credit based on the current demand and sale-ability of a book. Credit is often – but not always – based on a percentage of the original list price of the book and may vary. Credit may be used to pay for one-half (1/2) of your used book purchase. The other half (1/2) of the used book purchase price will be paid in cash/charge. Credit may not be used towards new books, items marked “No Trade” or any other items other than used books. Credit accounts may not be “cashed out” at any time. Credits do not expire.
LIMITS on incoming items: If you bring in more than we can process at the incoming desk in a reasonable amount of time, we will ask you to leave them as a large order and pick up later in the day or the next day. We cannot hold any items for pick up more than a days. If items you want returned are not picked up within three (3) days of us contacting you, we will donate or discard them at our discretion.
The amount we offer for merchandise, in cash or credit, is NOT negotiable. Prices and policies are subject to change at any time.
