We don’t take textbooks, dictionaries, travel guides, or crime fiction.
We are only able to sell books that are in good, clean condition. We don’t mind some signs of use (a few marks on the spine, colouring pages, underlining/highlighting), but we can’t sell books with serious water damage, broken spines, missing pages, or mildew. We appreciate books that have been dusted and wiped down prior to coming to us.
We are grateful if books can be dropped off (during opening hours) at our bookshop, however, we can also arranged to have them picked up if needed. Please use the form below or email us directly at nibscoordinator@gmail.com to discuss donation arrangements.
