WE ALSO BUY: old Mass Market Books - the small, often thin paper, sometimes colored paper, cool cover art books that were printed in the 60's and 70's to save paper. We are interested in Pre-ISBN only, reasonably well known authors and titles (eg: George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Albert Camus, Lord of the Flies, 1984, Little Prince). Condition isn't critical. We understand they were inexpensively made back in the day. There are pulp art/camp mass market covers from the same era that we buy, even if the authors are not well known. 
WE DO NOT BUY: food network cookbooks, hardcover mystery writers, (not you, Stephen King, we love you), 
Lower your expectations of what any book fetches on the used book market!
We are not antiquarian book dealers. If you have a rare book, take it to a rare book dealer.
