There are more mystery boxes in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Enjoy a small delivery every month for one low price. You can customize your box preferences or let us surprise you. (First come, first served—if we max out on monthly subscribers, please try again next month.)

We buy used books!

Sell your used novels, textbooks, cookbooks, comics, non-fiction books, children’s books, and more. We’ll buy your books in three easy steps.


  • Tell us what books you’d like to sell and what their condition is.

  • After we evaluate which books we want to buy, we’ll make you an offer.

  • Get paid to bring over the books we’ve selected from your buyback form. (Local sellers only at this time.)
