Consignment Policy

Labyrinth Books sources our book inventory from the major trade and academic publishers and the many small presses they distribute. While we often buy fine libraries for our used inventory, we do not accept consignments or otherwise purchase books over the counter for our inventory. We have many inquires every week from authors who are representing themselves with self-published or otherwise independently published books for sale. We are not able to accept those books for our inventory.
