Take a photo of your stack of good-condition paperback science fiction, fantasy, horror, recent fiction, quality mystery, LGBTQ+, graphic novel, and classic literature books. Email it to us at fedstreetbooks@gmail.com -- let us know how many books you have. We'll reply quickly with what we can take and give an estimate for the approximate trade value or donation value.
We might take other subjects (nature, philosophy, quality poetry, food writing and good cooking, children's, recent paperback history/sociology/science -- send us a snapshot) but we do NOT take rare books, hardcover fiction, health/wellness/nutrition, new age, religion, military history, sports, or encyclopedias.
If you can't take a photo, please give us an idea of how many books you have (please stick to the categories we mention above!) and we can set up a time for you to come in. If we don't have a full list or see what you have, we can't give you an advance estimate.
Please plan ahead. Our policy is designed to keep you from lugging boxes and being disappointed. We have limited space and cannot accept walk-ins or house large boxes we aren't expecting. Sorry, as a one-person shop we cannot respond to phone calls about book trades and donations. Contact us through our website form, our email, or social media with any questions.
There are certain times of the year when we'll suspend book-buying, particularly during winter/holiday months or other special events.
DO NOT LEAVE DISCARDED BOOKS OR "DONATIONS" OUTSIDE OUR STORE. THAT IS LITTERING. Please do not bring us moldy or dirty books.
Thank you! More questions? You can contact us here.
