In exchange for books suitable for our inventory, we assist in the proper disposition of books that do not meet our needs or criteria by donating them to a local charity. The local charity can provide a donation receipt which we will mail to you if requested.
4) CONSIGNMENT - we occasionally consign single items with resale value of over $100 which are placed in our Rare Book Room. Fees range from 30 - 50% of selling price. We will collect and pay state sales tax on these items.
