Tips for Book Storage and Selling to Us
- When selling to us, find good, sturdy boxes or bags. Make sure that they are the right size so one
person can lift and move one at a time when each container is filled with books. We suggest no more
than
15 to 20 pounds.
- Make sure to check your books for any stray items like, mail, receipts or money, you might be
surprised
what gets left in books.
- When storing your books, keep them in a clean, cool, dry place, preferably indoors and try to avoid
direct sunlight, as it can cause the cover and pages to fade.
- Use bookmarks instead of folding the pages and don’t write in books. Doing this will help keep your
books in better condition if you decide to sell them.
- We appreciate every customer who chooses to keep resalable books and media in circulation. It’s
economical and a great way to live a more sustainable life and reduce your carbon footprint.
