We are always interested in acquiring rare books and first editions of comparable quality to the ones we list on our website and will on occasion consign books. We will not pay for books until we have examined them. Payment for books occurs once the book has been fully examined, and we can remit payment in most currencies. If you are interested in selling your books, please email us some basic information, and include images. Our primary focus is on the Science Fiction and Horror genre, Ian Fleming and Children’s books.
In every case, we will need:
- Name of author
- Book title as it appears on the title page
- Images of the book (without the dust jacket if one exists)
- Images of the complete dust jacket to show the front, back, spine and flaps
- An image of the copyright and title pages
- A description of all defects such as stains, torn pages, loose bindings, rips or chips etc.
- The price of the book
Due to the high number of inquiries, we are not able to at this time offer valuations of books for estate purposes. Please send your inquiries to customerservice@meierandsons.com. Please do not call us with an inquiry to sell a book as we would need all the information above in advance
In addition to purchasing books outright, we also offer the ability to consign your books with us with exposure on all our websites. We would be pleased to hear from those of you who wish to explore available options for the sale of your books. Please send your consignment inquiries to customerservice@meierandsons.com. However please note we would still need the same information as required as to sell a book directly to us in advance of an inquiry for consignment.
