Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States. It’s a vibrant place with all sorts of cultural events and activities, including plenty of large and indie bookstores where book lovers can find true gems and sell their used copies.
Today, we’ll continue our series about cities and their bookstores. In this article, we’ll tell you about the best places in Houston where you can trade novels, textbooks, rare editions, and other items.
Today, let’s discuss the bookstores in Philadelphia where you can sell your used books.
Before we get to the list of stores with buyback offers and the places that buy textbooks, comics, and rare titles, we suggest you take a look at this wonderful Philadelphia Bookstore Map.
It’s a brilliant collaborative project by booksellers, book lovers, and the City of Philadelphia. It’s also the beautiful artwork by Henry Crane that showcases the city’s wealth of bookstores.
Our today’s destination for bookstores that buy used books is San Antonio.
If you read our previous post about Denver, you may remember Clever Real Estate’s report on The Best Book Places in the U.S. (2022 Data) we mentioned. Unlike Denver, which ranked favorably, San Antonio was listed among the ten least reader-friendly cities out of the 50 most populous. In fact, San Antonio ranked 8th in this category. With just 77 libraries per 100,000 residents and 13 indie bookstores, the city only offers about 0.5 indie bookstores per 100,000 residents.
While Providence, RI, is the #1 book city in America, with 139 libraries and 70 indie bookstores, Denver hasn’t gone that far from it: with 110 libraries and 278 bookstores (and taking into consideration the number of residents in both locations), it makes #13 in the list of the best book cities (according to Clever Real Estate’s report on The Best Book Places in the U.S. (2022 Data).
Denver scores higher in this respect, compared to Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Antonio and even New York, giving way to Boston and Seattle.
Today, we’ll discuss another location quite popular among students and graduates—San Diego. We’ll also share a list of the best places where you can sell used books and textbooks to local stores and online.
Just like Seattle, which we recently discussed, San Diego also attracts a large number of students every year. There are plenty of reasons for this, and apart from the obvious—great education opportunities—San Diego boasts fantastic weather, the beautiful Pacific Ocean, stunning beaches, and plenty of other stuff that makes it an ultimate destination for college students.
In this post, we’ll be covering the best places where you can sell your books and textbooks in Seattle.
If you’re a recent graduate or graduating soon, you may consider Seattle as one of the potential locations to settle down. Maybe not permanently, but we strongly recommend considering this city. Many resources that studied the movements of recent college graduates in the past few years mention Seattle as one of the best places to move after college.
