For more information: 847-328-2132   Thanks for reading! Sincerely, Ann, Paul, Tom, & Pat Chicago Rare Book Center 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. Store Hours: Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Closed Mondays Tues. - Sat. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
