Come in and browse the thousands of used paperback books in the basement of Harvard Book Store.

If you want to sell us your books:

We buy books Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 AM to 4 PM.

We pay either 20% of the books' cover value in store credit, or 15% in cash.

We do not buy hardcovers (we buy paperbacks only).

We do NOT buy any romance novels or westerns, true crime, textbooks, out-of-date travel guides, or computer books.

We DO buy philosophy (we will consider hardcover philosophy titles), literary criticism, cultural and critical theory, fiction, mystery, science fiction, poetry, drama, religion, anthropology, women's studies, science, nature, linguisticis, mathematics, art, architecture, and photography.

We are very selective in what we buy.

Books must be in good condition -- no broken spines, water damage, or underlining.

For exceptional libraries of quality and quantity, we do make house calls in the greater Boston area. Please call us at (617) 661-1515 for more information, and to schedule an appointment.
