would like to accept all books in trade, we are limited to the quantity and
quality of books
that you, our customers, are purchasing. Of course books and tapes purchased at

cannot be returned.
You will earn up to 20% of the publisher’s retail price for the books you trade

the credit
you earned. As we do not keep duplicate records of the credit, we ask that you
present
your receipt at the time of purchase.
