Why people call us.
Estate collection
"Collector downsizing"
Retired artist's library of signed editions and exhibition catalogs.
Longtime Santa Fe resident and gallery owner retiring. Fifty years of curating: signed McCarthy and Hillerman, museum catalogs, rare art books, leather-bound sets. Rather than consignment, she called. Josh made the drive, spent four hours evaluating, paid $8,400 cash on the spot. The rest went to NMLP readers.
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.
