Yes.

Too easy? Okay, okay...

Yes, we'll buy your books, but the price will depend on a couple factors. We're not going to lie about this - one factor is that we need to be able to make money from re-selling them. We're all about giving away money, but we need to earn first! Paperbacks must have a front and back cover. No book should have damage from any liquid.

Send a list of your books and we'll email you an offer. There are two options for your list:

1) make a list of ISBNs. The ISBN is found on the back cover or inside, on the copyright page. If your book does not have an ISBN (they didn't always exist), see #2

2) include the binding (hardcover, paperback, board book, spiral bound, etc), title, author, publisher's name and publication date. Most of that info will be found on the copyright page. If you have trouble finding any of it, feel free to ask us for help.

Email the list to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

What next?

We'll send you an offer. You can accept or reject it. If you accept it, you'll need to pack up the books in a box and tell us how much it weighs. We'll pay for the shipping and when the package arrives, we'll check in your books and contact you about your payment. You can take your payment via PayPal or we can send you a money order, whatever you like.

If you reject it... well, that does sound like the end of the transaction, doesn't it? Doesn't have to be! Remember, our price is based on our ability to turn around and sell them again, for more money. If you worked for AnnaLovesBooks, you'd be able to make more than the offer. For that, you'll need to go see the answer to "What does working for AnnaLovesBooks entail?"

You do know what a lost and found is, right? A place where things that are found are left to be claimed by those who lost them? Right. So this is that, only genealogical. And historical. And a little random-ness. Most of it is available to purchase in digital form, some of it will be for sale in physical form.

A basic list of the types of things we find, and list:

• letters
• postcards
• yearbooks
• photos
• photo albums
• wills
• bills
• receipts
• checks
• deeds
• court records
• cards

Essentially anything that might have belonged to your ancestor. This stuff belonged to someone's ancestor! The growing number of crazed scrapbookers who take one-of-a-kind, irreplacable documents and turn them into cutsie scrapbook decorations seems to grow every day. This is my effort to reclaim as many of those things as I can afford to buy. I sell them for as little as possible - just enough to make enough to keep rescuing more items without breaking YOUR bank.

Some items are of more historical interest, like ads. Even full books, if we're as sure as we can be that they're out of copyright. There's really very little that we won't try to save!
