We are always buying. To save you time and effort, we are interested primarily in First Editions of Literary Fiction (the stuff your high school English teacher made you read), Speculative Fiction (the books your nerdy friend hoards like Smaug), and Classic Fiction (to quote Mark Twain "something that everybody wants to have read, but nobody wants to read"). If you're unsure what you have, send pictures. In fact, always send pictures. If it is just a few books—the amount you could easily carry in your arms—then send individual pictures in the manner shown below. If it's a collection, display books as orderly as possible. We will ask for additional pictures when necessary.

Please tell us where the books are located (city, state), and how they were acquired. Interesting provenance appreciated.
