BUY (our books)
All books are priced on the first (or second) page in the upper right hand corner, written or stamped in fully erasable pencil. If the item is in a bag or box there may be a price sticker instead.

We can order any in print Comic Book, Graphic Novel or Manga, and we can do special orders for any Book.

We offer a  Free a search for any out-of-print item - while you wait. If it exists we can get one for you. (Sorry, we are not able to do searches by phone, please stop by in person.)

TRADE (your books for our books)
Not every book will be acceptable for trade, sometimes we have too many copies of particular titles or subjects. We need to check and see if it is something we can use. We need to see the item in person, we are not able to evaluate items over the phone. 

We trade mass market (or racksize) PaperBacks  on a 3:1 ratio. Bring in three mass market paperback books that we can use and you can take one used mass market paperback for free. Trades should be for similar genre/types - mystery for mystery, romance for romance, etc. We may not accept everything, we will check to see if it is something we can use.

We give credit for select Hardcover Books, DVDs, large paperbacks (‘Trade PaperBacks’ or TPB's), Toys, CDs, Records, Manga, VHS Video & AudioBooks (cassette or CD).

We will offer an amount of credit for the lot after individually examining each item in person.

You may bring in as much as you like, if you do not wish to use all of your Trade Credit on the same day we will give you a Card which you keep (or may give away) and can be used to redeem the Trades at any time. Trade Credit is not valid toward New items, or special orders.

Donations are always welcome.

SELL (your books)    Purchasing hiatus - we will not be doing any purchasing until June 2010.
We purchase select items. We are currently looking for books in the subjects of Art, Military, Transportation (Cars, Ships, Trains, Planes), and History of very specific subjects, and Toys & Games in their original packaging. We are always looking for good quality books with DustJacket covers, or LeatherBound editions in any subject. We do pay cash, but can always offer much more in Trade Credit.

We will be happy to look at anything you wish to bring by the store. It can take up to 15 minutes to evaluate a box of books, since we close at 6:30, please be considerate of the time when you bring a large collection. We are generally not able to come to you, but exceptions might be made, call for details. No buying after 6 p.m., call ahead on Sundays.
