Sell Your Books
Our book buying service is currently closed. It will reopen on Monday the 14th of July. If you would like to book an appointment to bring your books in after this date, please email [email protected].
Are your bookshelves overflowing? We can buy some of your books, as long as they are in saleable condition. Our buyer is usually in the store on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Drop-in appointments are available, but we recommend calling or emailing in advance so that we can advise you on whether or not we will be able to buy your books at that time. Due to limited space in the store, we are unable to buy certain books.
