Trade-In Program

Our trade-in program is CLOSED (with exceptions)!

Our shelves are bursting, so trade-ins are closed until after the holidays.

One exception: our Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Horror shelves are a bit low (y’all love some Romantasy!), so we’re still accepting trade-in in those genres.

For trade-in credit, please bring no more than 20 books at a time (no appointment necessary) and leave them with us to look over. We’ll get back to you with a credit amount, which can be put towards other used books in the store.

Store discounts!

Wear one of our shirts into the store and receive 5% off your purchase every day, then watch for special 20% off sales a few times a year.

Featured Local Vendors

  • Ellen Woodall

    MANAGER

    Ellen is a Blacksburg resident who has settled comfortably into the middle-age trifecta of gardening, cooking, and reading. She's happy to talk about any or all of those things with you.

  • Laurie Kelly

    OWNER

    Almost as soon as she could read, Laurie would spend hours in her small town library helping to reshelve books. Years later she settled on the obvious choice of being a literature major in college and was drawn to the complex characters in both Russian literature and Flannery O’Connor. Her most favorite recent read is A Gentleman in Moscow.
