Book Sale Information

Information about Dealer/Preview Day at the Big Book Sale at Rochambeau Library

Doors open for Registration at 930 AM. The fee to enter is $30. Each person who enters the sales rooms must pay the registration fee. Payable by cash, check, credit card or Venmo.   Numbers are assigned to those who arrive so people can enter in order at 10 AM.

Please bring your own boxes or bags to transport books.

The Big Sale  Room opens at 10 am for buying.  Books are sorted into over 50 genres and arranged for easy browsing. Overflow books are on the floor under the tables. Buyers may search those boxes too.

Community  Room  Pricing:  Two dollars for hardcover and large format soft cover, one dollar for trade paperbacks, $.50 for mass markets paperbacks. We also have coffee table books in good condition for four dollars.

The Studio for Special books opens at 930 for browsing and shopping.  This is a smaller room  with higher priced special books. The books are each individually priced:  antiquarian, first editions, signed, vintage children’s, graphic novels,  other vintage books,  large art, architecture , nature, books, etc.

All the books have been donated by patrons of the library and people who live nearby.

 We have a big sale like this twice a year usually in April and October. We advertise on our website www.friendsofrochambeau.org,  local sites and media and www.booksalefinder.com

All books are newly donated to the Friends since the last big sale;  i.e. we do not save books from the big room from one sale to the next. 

We do not sell ‘ex-library’ books (except for  unusual books that might have antiquarian value in the special room collection. )
