If You Have Books to Sell:
Every day we receive numerous inquiries from people with books to sell, from single items to entire collections. If you would like to offer us books, please review the information we will need to determine whether your items may be of interest to us. You will usually be contacted by a member of our staff within a week of receiving your information. We may need some additional information or make arrangements to view your items.




Please keep in mind that we do not purchase many of the books offered to us as some are neither rare nor first editions, are in poor condition, incomplete, or are not representative of our stock. We cannot make a purchase offer until we have actually examined the item. Please do not ship books to us or bring them into our galleries unless you have been asked to do so by our staff. Of course, we do welcome your offers and inquiries.



Please note that we do not offer appraisals. We may make an offer to purchase a book at a certain price, but this is not an appraisal or estimate of its retail value. Due to the volume of inquiries we receive, we ask that you contact our main office by one of the following methods:
