Book Trade

We offer store credit for books in good, readable condition, BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

 

(Sorry to shout, but the appointment thing is really important.) 

​

If you have books you think would be a good fit for our store, please e-mail a list or picture of spines to used@jarvissquarebooks.com, and we’ll set up a time to take a look. ​

 

Please note that our tiny footprint forces us to be very picky about what we take. We swear, it's not personal! Generally speaking, we’re most interested in the following genres:

​

  • Poetry

  • Essays

  • Literary Fiction

  • Sci-fi & Fantasy

  • Mystery & Suspense

  • Sociology

  • Anthropology

  • Philosophy

  • Science

  • Nature

  • World Religions

  • Feminist, Queer & Anti-Racist Cultural Criticism

  • Music

  • Art

  • Film studies

  • Drama

  • Political science

  • Chicago History & Interest

​

Thank you!
