Book Credit Policy

You may bring in your used books and get credit toward the purchase of other used books. KBB DOES NOT PAY CASH FOR BOOKS. The credit you receive will be kept on file and does not ever expire.

While we accept most books, we do reserve the right to refuse any book brought in for credit.  The reasons for refusal may include age, condition, and/or number of copies already in our inventory.  Library discards and most book club editions are not accepted. Some books that are not acceptable for our regular inventory may be acceptable as sale books at 50 and 25 cents. Your credit will be one-half the sale price (25 or 12 cents) for these books.  You must let us know when you bring in your books whether or not you wish to have refused titles returned to you. Books refused must be picked up within three days of notification or we will have to discard or recycle them.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT OUR CREDIT POLICY

***Our credit policy is based on a two for one principle by price. For example, if you bring in two books of a certain value, you can trade for one of our used books of the same value paying only the handling charge and sales tax.

***Each time you use any of your credit you will pay a handling charge and sales tax in cash. The handling charge is 10% of the amount of credit that you use.

***Credit Never Applies to New Merchandise

HOW YOUR CREDIT IS CALCULATED

PAPERBACK BOOKS - the original U.S. printed cover price of your paperbacks is totaled and then divided in half.  This credit balance is then applied to the printed cover price of our paperbacks.  Paperback credit cannot be applied to hardcover books, tapes, and certain paperback books marked "Collectible".

HARDCOVER BOOKS - we price at the price we hope to sell them and you receive half that amount in credit.  We generally price hardcover books at $1.00 - $8.00.   Hardcover credit may be applied to our price marked inside each hardcover book. Hardcover credit may also be used on paperback books if you wish.  It may not be used to purchase tapes and certain books marked "Collectible". NOTE: hardcover books must be researched and priced individually, please allow at least 4-6 weeks for your hardcover credit to be processed and added to your card.

AUDIO BOOKS - the original U.S. cover price of your audio books is totaled and then divided in half. This credit balance is then applied to the printed cover price of our used audio books. Audio credit may also be used on paperback books. (Except "Collectible" books)

TWO IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS

SCIENCE FICTION/FANTASY - if you want to take out this type of book using credit, you must bring in science fiction or fantasy books. The credit is calculated as described above.

HARLEQUIN ROMANCE SERIES AND HARLEQUIN PRESENTS SERIES - credit received for these books can only be used for more books in these same two series.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO PRINT YOUR FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, AND PHONE NUMBER ON EACH BAG OR BOX OF BOOKS YOU BRING IN FOR CREDIT.

Thank you for inquiring about our credit policy. We believe you will find it to be a great way to turn those books on your shelf into exciting new reading material. What a deal!
