Books from your own shelves
Readerama is a place for readers to sell books from their own personal collections, and to help those books find their next reader. Readerama is designed for everyday book lovers, not trade or bulk sellers.
Most books are welcome, as long as they’re genuine, complete and in a condition you’d be happy to receive yourself. A clear description and an honest note about condition go a long way.
There are a small number of items we can’t allow, mainly for legal, safety or delivery reasons. You’ll find those listed below, so it’s easy to check before you list.
If you’re ever unsure whether something is ok to sell, just drop us a line at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to help.
