How important is the condition of non-collectible books I bring in?
It’s a good idea to take good care of your books. Take a look at these Book Care Tips. If your books are later editions or are the types of books bought mostly for information or entertainment, condition is not as relevant the book buyer just wants to know it’s all there and doesn’t smell funny. Minor wear, owner inscriptions, minimal highlighting or underlining, and other defects may reduce the amounts offered for books (and their prices in the store), but we usually can still take them.
