Using Your Store Credit to Buy Used Books
- We keep an account of your store credit on a card in the store. Your store credit has an expiration. Your store credit account is closed if you have not used it within two full and consecutive years.
- Store credit can be used to purchase books at further discounts. Usually the discount is an additional 25%.

- Please remember, you will ALWAYS pay some cash for your purchases, regardless of the amount of credit you accumulate.
- Store credit cannot, under any circumstances, be exchanged for cash .
Receiving Store Credit
Store credit is awarded at the sole discretion of the store owners and operators. Here are some general guidelines:
- We generally award 25% of the cover price as store credit for books that we need in our inventory, are clean, in good condition and fit the above criteria for subject matter.
- We generally award 25¢ for a book we may sell for $1.
- We generally award 50% of a re-priced book. Examples of re-priced books are hardback fiction which we sell at reduced prices and coffee table books that have a reduced price.
