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. ​
