I do not buy or sell books.
Before you e-mail me, please read the
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

As of March 10, 2010: The Ugly Truth
The 2009 SaleList will never appear. The old versions, particularly the 2008 edition, can be consulted for reports of sales that may be repeated;
click on the Word or PDF button (to the left of this page) to see what's available.

I plan to publish an edition of the 2010 SaleList this year, but I don't know when.
Please send information about your sale(s) or store as soon as possible.


Used book sales in Western Pennsylvania are growing so fast that it’s hard to keep track of them all. Since early 2001, I’ve been compiling and disseminating a guide to Used Book Sales and Stores in and around Allegheny County (see About the SaleList). On April 27, 2005 this website was created to make it easier to share that SaleList. Here you can:



  • download the SaleList in either a Microsoft Word or a .pdf (Portable Document Format) version so you can read it on your own computer or print a copy to carry around. If you have an old copy of the list and just want to update parts of it, you can choose to download small files of Revisions.

  • browse the SaleList here and do a quick lookup of your favorite library or book store.

  • get answers to Frequently Asked Questions such as "What can I do with my old magazines?" and "Can you sell me the book I am looking for?". Please read the FAQs page before you ask me a question via e-mail, because if your question is answered there I'll just be e-mailing the FAQ to you.


I have removed the pages intended for "Pittsburgh Exchange", a place to share ads and thoughts related to books, reading, recycling, sharing. Much of its purpose is already well served by www.craigslist.com and www.freecycle.com. Both permit free ads and have established themselves as strong sites.

I'd like to learn about any other sites for bookworms. (For sites I've already learned about, see page ii of the SaleList, "Sites of Interest".)

I'd particularly like to find a source for a good list of books written by Pittsburghers or about Pittsburgh.

 
The SaleList depends on you.
Please contact me
with changes, additions, comments, or criticism
of either the website or the SaleList.
