Credit System

When you donate your gently used books, we’ll give you a 50/50 credit.

What’s a 50/50 credit?

When you trade in a book, we will give you a credit worth 50% of our resell price for that book. We will keep your credit on file until you choose to redeem it. Upon redemption, you can use your credit to receive 50% off your purchase.

Example: You trade in a box of books that we will sell for a total of $50. You receive half that, $25, as a credit. On your next book purchases, you will receive 50% off until your credit runs out.

Exemptions from Credit

Books marked with the letters “N/C” or the phrases "No Credit" are exempt from the credit system. Book credit may only be spent on book purchases. Gift items, jewelry, cards and other non-book items are also exempt from credit.

Why are some books exempt from credit?

Some books, though very few, are exempt from credit because we often have to purchase books in order to bring them into the store. If credit redemption brings the price of the book below what we paid for it, it will be exempt from credit.
