Paradise Bookshop accepts donations of books that are in saleable condition. If you have a single box of books, feel free to drop them past during opening hours. For donations of more than a box, please get in touch to discuss beforehand.
Do you have secondhand or rare books to sell in Central Victoria and the western/northern suburbs of Melbourne? Paradise Bookshop purchases books, from single items to entire collections.
Paradise Bookshop buys quality books in all genres and is most interested in fiction, philosophy, feminism, social justice, world history and art/design books. For antiquarian material, we offer a fair price based on what we expect to sell your item for taking into consideration condition, desirability, availability, sale records, market value, and current requirements. If you have what we classify as general books for sale, we may buy some of them, but for these you should expect $1-$2 a book.
How do I contact you about my books?
Our preference is that you email us clear pictures of the spines or shelves and include information about the approximate number of books available, genres and condition and your contact details including your location and preferred timeframe.
If donating books, we will indicate over email if we will accept them and organise a suitable time for drop off/collection with you.
If you are wishing your books to be assessed for purchase, this will either be done over email (based on the photos and information provided) or if you are within a 100km radius, we may arrange a visit to inspect.
Collection of books from local residents and large libraries can be arranged. We will also accept deliveries to the shop, once we have agreed to them.
Please direct your enquiries to Joseph Zizys at info@paradisebookshop.com.au
