ABC Trade-In Days


Are your shelves full of books you don't want anymore? We've got a solution! Come to our book Trade-In Days...

The Hague:

In the ABC Treehut (1st floor of the store). For more information contact [email protected]
  • ABC Trade-In Day in The Hague
    The Hague, May 5th from 11:00 to 16:00

Amsterdam:

We currently have no trade-in days planned. We will update the info as soon as we have dates.

The Deal:

We accept English and Spanish books in all genres of fiction, including science fiction & fantasy, romance, crime and chick-lit and we also accept your old graphic novels.
Please note that we do not accept non-fiction and children's books!

We prefer mass-market paperbacks (pocket books) but will also accept large paperbacks and hardcovers.
Depending on the possibility for resale, it is up to us to decide how much we will give you for your books. We retain the right to refuse books that we cannot sell. You can hold on to the remaining books, or you can leave them with us. All donated books will go to Better World Books.

You will receive ABC Gift Certificates for your books, with which you can pay in all our stores. They are valid indefinitely. Please note that we do not pay in cash.
