HOW TO SELL US YOUR BOOKS

What type of books do you buy?

We are buying books in our shop every day! Just bring them in. We're currently buying in the genres listed below:


  • Most paperback fiction, especially contemporary fiction, literary fiction, science fiction, romance, and fantasy
  • Other subjects include poetry, art & photography, nature, esoterica & the occult, spirituality, film & media, leftist & radical politics, philosophy, gender, and vintage kids' books
  • Collectible books: first or early editions, out-of-print copies, signed copies, pre-1830s Bibles, early American printed books, other rare books and ephemera.

Can you come to me?

If you have over 100 books, we can come to you. Please email grant@clintonvillebooks.com and let us know where you are based, and share an approximate book count with a general list of genres. 


If you can please also include images of the books’ spines. We’ll respond to you as quickly as possible, but please give us 3-5 days to process your request.

How much do you pay for books?

Based on our experience, we believe we pay more for books than any other shop in town:


  • We offer 30-50% of the resale value in store credit or 10-25% in cash.
  • Rare and sought-after books may be acquired at higher percentages, depending on desirability.
  • We are also open to selling select rare books on commission.
