Sell your books in Chelsea

Before you give your books away, let us look. We pay cash for books in Chelsea, pick them up for free, and take nearly everything except magazines.

Free pickup services take your books for nothing. We pay you for them, and the pickup is still free.

Chelsea is west of Ann Arbor along I-94, a small town with a big cultural streak. Jeff Daniels founded the Purple Rose Theatre here, and the Chelsea Milling Company has made Jiffy mix in town for generations.

That mix of theatre, small-town history and farm families makes for interesting libraries: plays and performing arts, cookbooks and recipe booklets, local history, and plenty of good general reading. Leave it all in place and let us look through it.

What we look for in Chelsea libraries

  • Plays, theatre and performing-arts books and programs
  • Cookbooks, recipe booklets and other kitchen ephemera
  • Chelsea and western Washtenaw County history
  • Signed copies and limited editions

Questions from Chelsea

How far west do you pick up?

Chelsea is within our area. Past Chelsea, toward Grass Lake and Jackson, ask anyway, especially for a large collection.

Do you pay for books in Chelsea?

Yes. We pay cash for books in Chelsea, from a few boxes to a whole private library, and pickup is free. Before you give your books away, let us look.

Can you tell me what my books are worth first?

Yes, and it’s free. Send a few photos (wide shots of the shelves, plus title pages and any signatures) and we’ll answer the same day. Photos sent after 6 PM get an answer the next morning.

Is there a minimum?

Chelsea is more than 15 minutes from our office, so we ask for five boxes or more for a free pickup. Smaller amounts with something special in them are worth asking about.
