Edgewater Books

Store Credit

Edgewater Books accepts used books for the opportunity to earn store credit for future purchases!

We ask that customers limit their donations to 25 books at a time to accommodate our small space and staff. No need to make an appointment — stop in with your books any time during business hours!

Edgewater Books Trade-in Policy

Please read the following rules carefully. We reserve the right to change this policy as needed, at our discretion.

1. No cash value. Trade-in credit has no cash value. You can only apply it to buy other books. All trade-ins are final.
2. Discretionary. All trades are at our discretion. We may refuse a trade for any
   reason. See the list below of some factors we consider.
3. Redemption. Trade-in credit is redeemable for up to 50% of any purchase,
   excluding books priced over $25 and non-book items. For instance, if you have $10 credit on file, to buy a $10 book you may pay $5 out of trade-in credit and the remaining $5 with cash or card. By law, sales tax applies to the non-trade-in portion of any purchase.
4. Time valid. Credit must be used within 12 months of the trade.
5. Amounts. For accepted books, we offer credit of $1 for mass market
   paperbacks; $2 for trade paperbacks and hardcovers missing their dust jackets; $3 for hardcovers with dust jackets; $1 for small and/or softcover kids’ books; and $2 for large hardcover kids’ books.
6. Volume & timing. We cannot accept more than 25 books per person per week. We do our best to process trade-ins on the same day, but it may take several hours or until the following business day.
7. Books not credited. You must pick up any books we do not accept for trade-in within one business day after we notify you by email, text, phone, or voicemail. Please provide accurate contact information. We will donate any books not accepted for trade-in on the second day.
8. What we consider. Factors we consider in deciding whether to accept a book include our inventory needs and your books’ condition. We do not accept mystery or romance novels; dictionaries or encyclopedias; ex-library books; Advance Reader Copies (ARCs); Readers’ Digest, Time Life, or similar imprints; textbooks, CDs, DVDs, audiobooks, or magazines; or badly damaged books.
9. Phone number and email required. You must provide a valid phone
   number and email address for us to process and keep your credit on file.
   Thank you for reading, understanding, and respecting this policy.
