Recycle Bookstore

As a used bookstore we rely on people like you to bring in books for the majority of our store inventory.  During our buy-back and trade hours, we will look through books that you may no longer want and decide if we could use them in the store. 

Of what we can use, we will offer a trade price that you may use as credit for books in store.  The trade can be used same day, or can be converted to a card that you can use at either of our stores-- and never expire!  We also offer a cash price, though it will be less then the value of the trade.

In the San Jose store:

11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.  We do not buy back or trade on Sunday or Monday.

In the Campbell store:

11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.  We do not buy back Sunday or Monday. 

This is a hard question to answer, since what is popular and what will sell varies day to day.  We look for books in good condition, books on obscure topics, and books by popular authors in fiction, mystery, sci-fi/fantasy, history, business, and many others.

What we DO NOT take are:

1. Textbooks
2. Computer Books
3. Encyclopedia sets
4. Magazines
   
5. Readers Digest condensed books
   
6. Hardback popular fiction - Anything by very popular authors, especially in Romance and Mysteries (Lee Child, James Patterson, etc.), we DO NOT take in hardcover after they have come out in paperback.  We do take hardcover books in other genres, including fiction, history, philosophy, business, etc., but since we sell them for very little, you may not get as much out of them in cash or trade as you'd expect.
