  1. We typically offer store credit and cash for used books. Store credit is always higher.
  2. We reserve the right to not offer cash for used books.
  3. We reserve the right to not take any books.
  4. Normal buyback hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10 am - 6 pm.
  5. Please remain in the store while we go through your books.
  6. We're willing to offer more for books on our Goodreads buy used for bookstore shelf. Click this link to go to the shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/70352817-carpe-librum-bookstore-and-art-gallery?shelf=buy-used
  7. We do not take former library books or books from The Book Thing.
  8. It's best if you bring in your books, rather than sending us pictures of your books.
  9. With that said, if you're going to send to send us pictures of books you'd like us to take, it's best if you send us individual pictures of the books you'd like us to take. Please do not send us pictures of stacks of books; we generally can't make out most of the books, and most often will not take any of the books.
