Trade Credit Policy

The Bookshop accepts good quality paperbacks and audio books on CD towards Trade Credit, which then can be applied to books you buy--up to another 25% off the price. Best of all - WE KEEP TRACK OF YOUR CREDIT FOR YOU!

How Trade Credit Works

The Bookshop sells used paperbacks and audio books on CD for 50% off the listed price. With Trade Credit, up to additional 25% is deducted from your credit and the remaining 25% of the cover price you pay in cash.

Example: If you were to buy a book with a listed price of $8.00, it would automatically be $4.00 (50% off). When you have Trade Credit, we deduct another $2.00 (25% of the listed price) from your Trade Credit. The remaining $2.00 + tax you would pay in cash.

Trade Credit is good for in-store purchases for used books only. Contact us for more details.

How To Get Trade Credit

We accept good quality paperbacks and audio books on CD. The only hardcover books we accept for Trade Credit are cookbooks, crafting books & children's books.

When you bring in your books, you receive 15% of the cover price in Trade Credit. Audio books on CD receive 25% of cover price in Trade Credit. When you bring in those new releases - books originally published less than 6 months ago - you will receive double credit! This excludes paperbacks originally bought here, reprints and series romance and audio books.

What Type of Books We Accept

Currently, we are focused mostly on fiction. But, we do take some limited non-fiction: biographies, true crime, cookbooks, craftbooks, history and military non-fiction.

Sorry...

Unfortunately, we sometimes also have to turn away books due to the quantity we already have in stock - even though the books brought in may be in perfect condition. We will honor books purchased here, that are returned for Trade Credit, if they retain their good condition.

Does Trade Credit Expire?

Any Trade Credit balance you have is given to you, printed on each receipt you receive. Trade Credit never expires and is transferable.
