Help
Selling books to our Portland-area stores:
Please note that books accepted or rejected, as well as the offer made,
do not necessarily reflect what our in-store buyers will (or will not)
buy or bid. For example, books without ISBNs can only be assessed by our
in-store buyers. Each of our stores will buy books, with and without
ISBNs, which suit that location's inventory. If you would like to sell
books in one of our
Portland-area locations, simply bring them to the
used book counter at the store most convenient for you.

ISBN:
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a ten-digit code assigned to books published after 1972 or a thirteen-digit code assigned to books published after 2006.
In the early '70s, some books used a nine-digit "SBN." If you have a book that appears to have this nine-digit code, simply add a zero (0) to the beginning of the number.
Each ISBN is unique to a specific edition.
A different ISBN is assigned to hardcover and paperback versions of the same title, as well as later editions with changes or additional content, or editions produced by different publishers.
You'll generally find the ISBN printed over the bar code on the book's back cover or on the copyright page.
