Selling to Pearl Street Books
Pearl Street Books is always interested in perusing your personal collection! We purchase quality used books
for cash or in-store credit.
We purchase books based on what our community members are seeking from us and our current inventory needs. Before selling, here are two important questions to ask yourself:
Are your books clean and free from water, rodent, and insect damage?
Have they been stored in a safe space (bookshelves vs. a damp garage)?
We are very interested in books by award winning authors published in the previous two or three years.
We are always interested in timeless classics - think Dickens, Poe, or Bronte.
Generally, we are unable to buy ‘serial’ authors (Clive Cussler, Danielle Steele, James Patterson etc.) as we already have a large inventory of them. We also don’t take condensed/abridged versions of books (Reader's Digest Condensed, for example).
Lastly, we don’t buy or sell diet books, including cookbooks.
