Northeast Heights landscape
hero__media · Sandia foothills, mid-century and modern homes
Usually responds in under an hour
Foothills homes, educated readers.
Northeast Heights is a different neighborhood from the rest of Albuquerque. Mid-century ranches up the foothills, newer builds higher up, Kirtland Air Force Base retirees and professionals, tech workers who've relocated here. These homes hold academic collections, technical libraries, military history, travel guides from thirty years of serious reading.
We cover the whole area — from Academy/Montgomery to the Tramway, Wyoming to Juan Tabo, all the way up the Sandia Foothills. If you're downsizing or clearing a lifetime of books, call us.

Why people call us.
Estate clearing, Northeast Heights
"Downsizing after retirement"
Retired engineer clearing 30 years of technical books.
Retired professional downsizing from foothills home. Engineering references, technical journals, specialized works accumulated over a 40-year career. One full room of books. We came out, sorted, valued the keepers, and paid cash same day. The rest went to NMLP for students and lifelong learners.
Rare book discovery, Northeast Heights
"Hidden in plain sight"
Signed first edition aviation memoir in a mixed pile.
Homeowner clearing a library. Mixed collection of travel, history, and military works. In the pile: a signed first edition of a famous pilot's memoir. We knew what it was; they had no idea. That one book paid for the whole pickup, and we paid fairly for it instead of them dropping everything at Goodwill.
The honest version
Where books we don't buy go.
Most donated books end up in dumpsters within a week. We take a different approach. Children's books we can't resell go to New Mexico Literacy Project — the literacy side of what we do from the same Edith Blvd shop — and then out to kids, schools, and early-literacy programs across New Mexico. Overprinted adult fiction and anything too damaged to read, Josh hauls to a paper recycler himself in a gaylord, several times a week. Nothing from the shop hits a landfill.
It's not a registered non-profit or a charity — just what we do with books that don't have resale value.

Before you call.
Do you cover all of Northeast Heights?
Yes. We cover Academy to Tramway, Wyoming to Juan Tabo, and up into the Sandia Foothills. About 15 minutes from our warehouse. Free pickup for collections of 300+ books.
What about textbooks and technical books?
That's a core strength for us. Older textbooks, technical references, engineering manuals — we know what holds value and what doesn't. We're honest about what we can sell.
Do you value military history and aviation books?
Yes. Northeast Heights has military retirees and professionals who read seriously. We know military memoirs, signed aviation books, and technical military history. If you have those, we want to look at them.
What happens to books you don't buy?
They go to New Mexico Literacy Project — the literacy side of what we do. Kids and adult learners across NM get readers instead of these going to Goodwill or landfill.
