Now Offering Store Credit for Standard Books, Accepting Book Donations and Buying Rare/Antiquarian Books
Rare or Antique Books
Looking to sell something special? We buy rare and antiquarian books, including large collections and estates. Please reach out to us by emailing tanner@unchartedbooks.com and set up an appointment with Tanner to take a look at your rare books.
Standard books
Standard books comprise 99% of all the books we sell at Uncharted. Paperbacks, hardcovers, and most vintage books fall under this category
We’re excited to announce that Uncharted is offering store credit for books starting July 1st!
-
You may bring up to 3 boxes during our regular hours, Tues-Sun 11-7
-
If you have more than 3 boxes you would like to sell, please call or email ahead to set up an appointment
-
We’ll go through your books one by one, then make a credit offer for the books, which you can accept or pass on
-
If you decide to go for the store credit route, we unfortunately can’t accept books we have to pass on as donations (it’s a lot of work for us to process books we’re unable to sell and we are a small team!)
What kinds of books we’re looking for:
- very good and very weird books, literary and classic fiction, small press books, poetry, sci-fi and fantasy (esp newer books), leftist books (from politics and sociology to race studies), literary mysteries and thrillers, young adult books, cookbooks, contemporary fiction, non-textbook history, plays, politics, philosophy, occult, non-textbook science books, children’s books (hardcover preferred), memoir, manga, art & music books. If you aren’t sure whether or not your books fall into these categories, no worries! Since we’re offering store credit for used books, we’re happy to go through what you’ve brought and let you know what we are and aren’t able to make an offer on.
Books we aren't able to accept:
- textbooks, diet books, reference books, ACT SAT AP etc. prep books, bibles and devotional books, older self help and business books, Norton anthologies, older chick-lit and romance, computer manuals.
Donation Guidelines:
Yes, we can still take donations if you prefer! Thanks for thinking of us! Please bring donations in bags or boxes you're able to leave at the store any time during store hours.

Store Credit for Books:
Starting July 1st, we’re excited to start offering store credit for used books. If you have more than three boxes of books you’d like us to look at, please call and set up an appointment ahead of time. If you have fewer than three boxes, feel free to bring your books by any time during our open hours, Tue - Sun 11-7.
Anything you bring us we’ll go through one by one, then make you a credit offer for the books we’re able to take off your hands. While we are still accepting bulk donations, if you decide to go the store credit route we are unfortunately unable to accept books that we have to pass on as donations. We’re a small team and processing books we’re unable to resell is a lot of work for us.
We do hope to offer cash for books in the future, but are still testing the waters on what is possible for us as a business as the city re-opens. We appreciate your understanding and patience on this!
