Hardcover and softcover books in gently used and resalable condition are wanted. Books should have bindings intact and be free of writing, highlighting, tears, water stains, mold or mildew. Especially in demand are pocket-size paperback romance novels and children’s books. We also welcome novels and non-fiction books on art, sports, hobbies, crafts, history, home and garden, business, health, travel, music, religion and science. Oversize and vintage are needed for our Special Selections and Collectors’ Corner section. Music CDs, movie DVDs, comic books and complete jigsaw puzzles and games in nearly new condition are also welcome.

We do not accept encyclopedias, Reader’s Digest condensed books, spiral bound books or books in 3-ring binders. Text books for kindergarten to grade 12, cassette tapes and VHS tapes will also not be accepted.
