Sell your books

Come in and browse!

Besides buying books in our shop, you can also sell your English books to us to supply our second hand books stock. You can bring your books to our shops on working days. When you want to bring in more than thirty books, please contact us in advance to arrange a convenient moment. You can choose to sell us your books or trade them to us for shop credit. Shop credit functions the same way gift certificates do. You can earn shop credit by trading in your books. You get more value for your books if you trade them in for shop credit than you do for cash.

We prefer books that:

  • are in good condition, so the fewer reading folds on the spine or annotations the better.
  • are publishing by renowned publishers (such as Penguin, Harper Collins, Allen Lane etc.), we don’t take self-published/print on demand books.

We stock many categories, but we are more critical in the following categories:

  • Thrillers/crime: for now we only buy books by Agatha Christie or thrillers published in the current or previous year.
  • Cookery: we only buy cooking books by renowned chefs (such as Julia Child, Jamie Oliver and Ottolenghi).
  • Children: we only buy childrens’ books that are either classics or that were published in the current or previous year.
