We love looking at used books! But the store name is no lie -
we are picky.
That said we do offer full house/unit/apartment clean outs
depending on the collection. The best way to find out if
we're interested is to get in touch using the contact form
below.
What types of books are we specifically interested in?
This is a list of some things but not a limit on what we buy!
-
Technical, scientific, and engineering books of current or
timeless interest.
-
Vintage paperbacks - mystery, science fiction, literature,
erotica, "sleaze" and "good girl art", horror, fantasy.
-
Academic works in all fields - if it's unusual and erudite, I
will probably be interested.
-
Attractive and unusual vintage copies of classics such as the
Modern Library, Everyman's Library, Vintage Books, New
Directions, Grove, or Evergreen Books.
- Science fiction, fantasy, horror, and weird fiction.
-
Art, architecture, photography, fashion, and design books.
-
Gay, lesbian, queer, trans literature and scholarship.
What are some things we don't want to buy?
Everything has exceptions, but generally...
- Books with mold or water damage
-
Books in very bad condition (pages torn, heavily smoked,
thoroughly underlined/highlighted)
-
Outdated works such as old textbooks - we want timely or
timeless books.
- Very common books
- Family bibles

Encyclopedias and most other large sets (such as Harvard
Classics)
