Sell Us Your Books

Harvest Book Company is the Philadelphia area's largest buyer of second hand books. We purchase books of merit in most subject areas, ranging from used copies of current bestsellers to collectible and antiquarian items. For larger collections, our buyers make house calls daily throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey and Northern Delaware. Indeed we will travel nationwide for very large collections. If you have only a few boxes to sell, please bring them to our Harvest Book Outlet where we can offer either cash or Outlet credit for your books. We offer generous values. As one of the largest second hand book dealers in the nation and one of the leading book search services for hard-to-find and out-of-print books, we handle books of all kinds. Let our knowledgeable and professional staff find new homes for your books.

To reach our Book Buyers, please call us at 215.619.0307 or email us at bookbuyer@HarvestBooks.com.

Are you moving? Settling an estate? Cleaning out a house full of books? Running a book drive? Harvest Book Company also buys books in bulk. Provided the books you have are of reasonable quality and in good condition, we can offer a full, one stop solution for large quantities of books. Please call our Book Buyer to discuss your needs.

Prefer to donate your books? Harvest Book Company supports various charitable organizations and their book drives. To learn more about our efforts to support the community, please click here. We are authorized to accept donations on behalf of several local non-profits. Just bring your donations to the Harvest Book Outlet. If you have more than a carload, give our Book Buyer a call to arrange a pick-up.

There are some books we cannot use. Since books we cannot use must be recycled at some expense, we do not accept these types of materials even as a donation:

Books that have been wet or are moldy.

Books without covers.

Books that are in poor condition relative to their vintage. Obviously older books will sometimes show their age. This does not mean they are not valuable. But torn, yellowed or creased copies of last year’s romances or thriller novel will not do us any good.

Encyclopedias -- general reference encyclopedias, such as Britannica, are NOT of any use, even to schools --it’s all available on the computer these days.

Readers’ Digest Condensed Books.

Older editions of travel guides or other books that come out with new editions each year.

Textbooks more than two years old.

No newspapers or magazines, please!
