Condition of Books

One of the most important factors that determines whether or not I accept books is their condition. Used books aren’t expected to be pristine, but it’s unlikely I’ll want them if they have noticeable water damage or other stains, significant wear/damage to the spine or covers, major foxing/discoloration to the pages, or excessive highlighting or writing in the margins. For more rare/scarce books, I am more lenient on their overall condition than for common paperbacks and hardcovers.

Top Priorities for Books Right Now:

• Sci-fi/Fantasy: including Afrofuturism, utopias/dystopias, post-apocalyptic, Indigenous Futurisms, vintage and classic books

• Speculative Fiction: from magical realism to slipstream novels

• Mythical Creatures (Dragons, Trolls, Orcs, Unicorns, Moomins, etc.)

• Folktales and Mythology

• 20th century literature of various kinds, especially vintage paperbacks from the 1950s - early 2000s.

• Art books: including visual art, photography, architecture, sculpture, and dance — and especially in the realms of the fantastical and visionary

There’s sometimes exceptions to this list. Unsure? Just ask!
