Pricing Guide

BOOK PRICING

Identifying Used Paperbacks: A ‘Chamblin Bookmine’ stamp on the first or second page = a USED book.

Identifying New Paperbacks: NOT stamped. They will have a single line on the bottom of the text-block. This means they are 10% off the original cover price unless otherwise marked on the first or second page. 

Identifying Hardcovers: Priced at top right corner of the first or second page. If new, it will be marked 10-20% off the cover price. Fiction titles priced earlier than the current year can be repriced to $8.00 (if not signed or a special edition). For non-fiction, prices of $15.00 or higher from before the current year, feel free to ask a manager to check if the price can be adjusted. 

Used Mass Market Paperbacks: Minimum is $4.00, or ½ off the original cover price unless otherwise marked inside on the first or second page (look for our code). With the exception of Westerns (minimum is $3.50) and Smaller Regency/Harlequin Romance (minimum is $3.50).
