Sell Used Books Easily

When we receive books or sell books we grade them upon the content quality and the book quality

Content of the book quality

A - published within last few years, quality text

B - published in the last 10 yrs, a quality text

C - an older book, maybe a classic but still relevant to today

D -texts that we feel are on their way out, with a bit of life left in them and are good for a rock bottom price


Physical book quality

A- new book, not used or marked in any way

B - very good, looks like it has only been read a few times, may have or had a school stamp inside

C  - good, may have more creasing, some light page markings including yellow age markings


All books that we receive are checked, cleaned etc before they are listed for sale.
