We buy books!
We buy books, one or many.
You can contact us by email or phone (847-328-2132). If you have many books to sell, a list is often helpful to us, with title, author, publisher, date -- and if a 20th/21st century book -- the presence or absence of a dust jacket. The importance of a book, its physical condition, and the "collectibility" of a title, are other considerations. Consignment is an option with higher-priced books. Visit our store in Evanston, IL
