Frequently Asked Questions and Restrictions
Do you take all books?
We don't take:
- Very small (mass market) paperback fiction (we take standard size paperbacks).
- Magazines.
- Books which don't meet condition guidelines (see below).
- We don't pickup a batch of more than 50% fiction, kids, or YA books, unless they are collectibles or vintage.
Adult non-fiction is what we are most interested in (categories like history, art, photography, religion, occult, philosophy, psychology, biographies, etc.).
We do take:
- Recent textbooks!
- Complete encyclopedias or other sets.
- Old, vintage, or antique books, as long as they are in good condition!
Do I need a certain amount of books for you to come?
Due to a high volume of calls, we currently only accept batches which are bigger than 50 books (about 1-2, 16x12x12 boxes). We make exceptions if the batch is primarily non-fiction (History, Occult, Recent Textbooks, Biographies...) and at a close distance.
We can handle very large book batches (over 1,000 books) comfortably with enough preparation and cooperation.
Do the books need to be in great condition?
As long as the books are in readable condition, we will take them.
What is fine: Highlighting, markings, light stains, missing jackets, tears to jackets, dog-eared pages, smudging/scratching on cover, and ex-library copies are fine.
What we don't take: Moldy, water damaged, or dirty books. Incomplete books with missing pages. Books with destroyed spines.
Do the books need to be boxed or put in a bag?
We require books to be bagged or boxed to facilitate the pickups. We only make exceptions if you are elderly or unable to box the books due to a disability.
Where do the books go?
We are a team of booksellers who sell online on various marketplaces. Whatever books we pickup that we can't sell, we donate to libraries or recycle. So your books will either find a new home or be repurposed!
Which areas do you serve?
All counties in Connecticut.
All counties in Massachusetts.
All counties in Rode Island.
If you are not within the region we serve but believe that your batch will be of interest to us, please contact us anyway. We make exceptions.
When will you come?
This depends on how far you are from us and what our schedule looks like. We get to most accepted pickups within 2 weeks.
Do I need to be there when you pickup?
If you are able to leave the books boxed and covered in your driveway, we will tell you which day we will come, and you can leave the books out the day of scheduled pickup. You will not need to be present. This is ideal for us, as we can do the pickup any time within a 3-4 hour period. If you prefer (or need) to be present during the pickup, we will do our best to arrange a time which will fit your needs as well as ours.
Will the donation be tax deductible?
We are not a non-profit, so it will not be. We cannot provide you with receipts.
