Buying Policy:
We don't buy every book we see. We only have so much room! We refuse books for a variety of reasons - condition, category, and current stock being the main ones.
The categories we DON'T TAKE are:
- Hardcover fiction (includes lit, sci-fi, and mystery)
- Horror
- True Crime
- Romance
- Westerns
- Computer books
- Loose sheet music
- Pricing guides or date-sensitive materials (i.e. almanacs)
- Business books
- Textbooks
- Anthropology
- Archeology
- Books on Tape
- Magazines (except for Parabola)
- Music CDs, tapes, or LP's
- Antique, rare, or collectible books
- Encyclopedias
We're happy to look at books every day we're open - no appointment is needed.
Generally, we offer half of what we sell a book for in trade or a fourth in cash - with some exceptions.
No books may be left overnight - any books not retrieved by the end of the business day will be donated to Animal Humane Association of New Mexico's thrift store.
Discounts:
We do not offer special discounts to dealers, seniors, students, military, or any other group with the EXCEPTION of teachers, who will receive a 10% discount on classroom materials.
Return Policy:
Books may be returned within 24 hours only for full credit.
