Selling books to Chapter Two Books

Chapter Two Books believe, in order to provide the best selection of second-hand books for our customers, we must adhere to very strict selection criteria when we purchase books.

Please understand this process is time-consuming and it is unlikely we will be able to process your books immediately. You will be issued with a receipt for your books and we will attend to them as soon as possible.

We select books that we deem to be in excellent condition and, due to severely limited storage space, we ask that you make every effort to promptly collect those books that we don’t select for our shop.

Chapter Two Books does not accept the following:

  • Encyclopaedias
  • Textbooks
  • Readers Digest Condensed books
  • Magazines

It is likely some of your books won’t meet our selection criteria. In this instance, we suggest offering them to charity shops, such as the Book Shed, or we may accept donated books in some circumstances*.

Areas of particular interest include; architecture, art, photography, Indigenous, South Australiana, military, respected literature (modern and classic), crime fiction, childrens and gardening. However, we don’t discriminate on genre and will welcome contributions from all areas.

We look forward to helping you pass your books on to other book lovers.

  

*Donated books become the property of Chapter Two Books and cannot be accepted if customers wish to place conditions or restrictions on their use.
