If you check my website listings, find the title that you have and read the book description. In most of my listings, I mention First Issue points that my book has and compare it to your copy.

Yes, see my website tab “sell to us” and submit pictures of the book that you want to sell.

It depends on the title and the condition of your book. Normally, dealers pay about 1/3 of a comparable copy on the net.

Yes, I do a one year consignment with customers. If the book sells at the agreed price that you want, you’ll get 50% of the value of the selling price. I sell 90% of the books I have on consignment within 90 days. If you would like to consign your book, please contact me.

Although I do not appraise books I do buy them. I don’t see the reason why people waste money on appraisals as the appraisal does not give you an accurate price on what the book will sell for. You can always compare your copy to other copies on the net to get an ideal of what your book may be worth. Appraisals also get outdated quickly as a year later, the book may be worth more or less depending on the market.

On this website click the tab “store your books” that will hopefully answer your questions.

I have helped many customers downsize their book collection by consigning books for them and selling them quickly. This makes it easier for those who will inherit their collection someday. It’s a lot easier to leave 100 books behind rather than a 1000.

Yes, if you have a book that you want to upgrade, you can trade in your copy toward a nicer copy that I have in stock and pay the difference. Every one of my customers have been very happy with their upgrade and the amount of credit they received for their trade in. It’s a great way to get a copy that you really love and get credit for a book that you aren’t pleased with.

Yes, I buy individual titles and collections of books depending on what you have. Please see my tab “types of books we buy” and see if you have any of those titles. If so, please submit pictures on my “sell your book” tab so I can get an ideal of what you have.

Yes, you can contact me by phone or email. Let’s chat about your goals and the kind of book collection that you want to own and leave behind someday. I would suggest that buy what you like reading or titles that you have great memories of. As a starting point, see my website and click the tab “top 25 books of 19th and 20th Century” literature to own. Perhaps you would like to start with one of those authors.
