Used
Book and Store Credit Policy
TRADING
YOUR USED BOOKS
Want
to trade in some books for credit? We offer up to 25% of the
paperback cover price (hardback percentage varies) in the form of
in-store credit, which is good toward the purchase of any item in
the store. We accept books we feel we can resell based on
desirability, market value, in-print price, condition, and our
current stock levels.
With so many books in the world and our stock continually changing, it’s not possible to know what we’ll be interested in at any one time. However, there are several types of books we do not take:
- Damaged books (including those which smell bad)
- Family Bibles
- Textbooks
- Encyclopedia sets
- Adult series westerns (Longarm, Lone Star, etc.)
- Adult series romances(Loveswept, Harlequin, etc.)
- Most book club editions
- Magazines
- Original software user's manuals
- Reader’s Digest Condensed Books
We will sort through your books and choose those we think we can sell. We will then call you and let you know the amount of store credit we can offer to you. If, in our research, we discover that a book is of significant value, we will contact you and give you the choice of receiving credit for the book or not. Books are priced and shelved shortly after the time of purchase; we do not wait for your "approval," nor do we keep an itemized list of which books we accept. Upon your approval, books that we do not want can be donated to our Bargain Books section. A portion (50%) of the proceeds from the sale of Bargain Books benefits our local Elementary school libraries. If you prefer, you can pick up any books we do not accept.
USING STORE CREDIT
Store credit can be used, for up to 50% of the sales total, to purchase anything we carry in the store. It cannot be used to pay for specially ordered out of print or hard
to-find books.
