We Buy Books

We are always in the market to buy books. Collections like you see here, entire libraries or just a few volumes. Our interests also include regional ephemera such as pamphlets, brochures, photographs and related paper goods. We are especially interested in collections in gardening, photography and Northwest history.

For the most part, we purchase hard back books in most categories and we desire our books to be in excellent condition since that is what most of our customers expect. Unfortunately, we cannot buy textbooks, book club editions, paperbacks, or books that have been extensively underlined, highlighted, or annotated (unless by a notable person!)

Our commitment is to provide the best price possible for good books offered to us. Generally, we do not provide quotes over the phone, because so much of a book's value is in the condition and we like to assess that personally so we can make a reliable offer.

We are willing to travel to examine books and make cash offers after completing our review.
