New and Used Books   
Trading Policy & F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions:

"Do you buy books?"

We do not buy books; however, we do give trade credit for the books you bring in.  You can then apply that credit towards your used book purchase.  So that used book your eying on the shelf for $5, use your credit and get it for $2.50 instead! Take a look at our trading policy or stop by!

"What do you not accept in trade?"

We try to keep our bookstore clean and organized, so sometimes space is limited.  We therefore do not take textbooks, magazines, library books, and severely damaged books.


"I want to drop off some books, when can I do this?"

You can bring by your books anytime we're open.  Have a lot? We ask that you bring by only one to two boxes at a time. 

"I don't see the title I'm looking for on your shelf..."

All of our books are on our computer database but may not be on the shelf.   If you don't see the book you are looking for on the shelf, please do not hesitate to ask.  It may be filed or displayed in a different section or it may be in our overstock storage area.

"What if you don't have the title I'm looking for in your store?"

Please keep in mind that we can often order the book you're looking for--we do not charge shipping fees and we still offer a 15% discount on most of books we directly order for customers.   We also have several resources that help us find out-of-print or hard-to-find books.

Still have questions?

Please feel free to call us anytime--leave a voice mail if we're not open yet.

Our Trading Policy: How it works
  • Bring in your gently used books (please no water damage, mildew, or excessive writing) and receive trade credit.  The amount of trade credit you receive is based on the retail price of the book--you will receive 25%-15% of the retail value in store credit.
Example: You bring in a paperback with a retail price of $7.99, you will receive $2.00 in trade credit.
  • Use your trade credit towards up to half of your used book purchase; the other half is paid with cash or credit.  Yes, it's like getting your used books 1/2 off!
Example: A used paperback priced at $4.00 may be purchased with $2.00 in trade credit and $2.00 in cash.

  • Please Remember: Trade credit can only be used towards 1/2 of USED books.
