Frequently Asked Questions

1. What types of books do you buy?
We buy books of all types. We are a general used book store with books in all categories and are always interested in looking at good books. Of special interest to us are unique books on local history, Californiana, military history, railroading and Theology. We do not buy ex-library books or textbooks. General fiction and series romance paperbacks are purchased for store credit.

2. What makes a book collectible?
A book is collectible because of its age, its condition, the subject matter, or the desirability of the author. One factor alone may not make the book collectible (as in age) but all of these things are areas we consider when evaluating a book.

3. Are family bibles collectible?
Unfortunately most family Bibles are not collectible. Most families have had Bibles kept in the family, so the most collectible Bibles need to be pre Civil War, have ornate details and/or color plates, chromolithographs or be hand gilded.
