The book buyback has been updated for 2025.

Psst! You! Yes, you. Got some books to offload?

Jason's Books & Coffee offers a buy/sell/trade program for used books in reasonably good condition.

The program is simple:

  • One-for-one trades of any title for any title. No paperwork! All we ask is that the books be roughly equivalent in value.
  • We accept donations without limit. We'll figure out what we'll sell or recycle.
  • We purchase books for cash. The price per title ranges from $0.25 to $2.

What We Accept

We are currently purchasing books in the following genres:

  • Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance, and Western/Adventure.
  • Most non-fiction books (but not religious titles).

Program Exclusions

Some important caveats:

  1. We cannot purchase books that are prohibited from resale – e.g., advance review copies or books with stripped covers.
  2. Each book must be reasonably saleable, which means that it needs to be in decent physical condition (no missing pages, torn covers, water damage, or broken spines) and be of potential interest to a general book-buying market. Even if a book is in good condition, we will not buy it if we don't think it will sell in the store.
  3. We reserve the right to decline to buy or trade if a given genre is over-represented or if we already stock copies of a given book.
  4. We are unlikely to accept titles that contain outdated information (e.g., old medical or nutrition books) or lean toward conspiracy theories and the occult.
  5. We ask that you drop off your books so we can have them inventoried and inspected and calculate what we owe you. That process generally occurs on Wednesdays and Fridays. To minimize our financial risk, we do not keep large amounts of cash on-site, so we do not buy over-the-counter.
