Today, we’ll discuss one of the most popular ways of decluttering: giving your old books a new life by donating them to other people and organizations. This post will be helpful if you have a few (or many reads) you want to get rid of in bulk without a hassle.
We already covered New York when we discussed the best places to sell books in the area. Today, we’ll focus on the local organizations and online resources that accept book donations in New York City and surrounding areas.
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 Houston, 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.
If the “less is more” principle has started to look more and more appealing to you recently and you find yourself reading all about minimalism and simple living, we’ve prepared another good read for you.
If you’ve already “kondoed” all your drawers under the guidance of Marie Kondo and her The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, voluntarily got rid of a few bags with clothes, and probably pained the walls in your room white, we have another suggestion. How about creating a minimalist library?
A classroom library is one of the surest ways to encourage students to read more. So, if you’re a teacher who wants to set up a library and make it easy to use and inviting, we have a few tips to share.
Building and growing your classroom library isn’t easy. If you only have your own funds and no financial support, you have to be inventive. Besides, choosing, buying, labeling, categorizing, and organizing books takes time and effort. The good news is it’s doable!
