Do You Want to Sell Your Books?
We prefer to purchase entire collections or lots from estates and individuals. Our primary areas of interest include:
- History
- Americana
- Florida, especially local history
- Leather bindings
- Folio Society, Easton Press
- American and English literature
- Technical/Science
- Oddball/Unusual
We will travel throughout Southwest Florida to look at the collection of books you wish to sell. When you contact us, please have the following information ready:
- How many boxes or bookcases of books do you have to sell?
- What subject matter or type of books are they?
- What is the general range of publication dates?
- Where have the books been stored (in a house, in a garage, in a storage unit, etc.)?
- Have the books been exposed to cigarette or cigar smoke?
Books must be clean and in good condition. We cannot make offers or guarantee that we will purchase your books over the phone or via email. We must first see the books. We do not do appraisals or book repairs.
Types of books we do not buy:
- Encyclopedias (unless pre-1900)
- Book club editions
- Reader's Digest condensed books
- Textbooks
- Books in poor condition (excessive markings, water damage, loose bindings, missing pages, insect damage)
