second hand paperbacks

Question

Hi,

Is there somewhere in Brussels that would take second hand paperbacks? They include who-done-its, spy stories and some good literature.
Thanks,
Marian

pele mele buy some books, but do not expect to get much. There is an english language book sale in Stonemanor in September for local charities, and books can be donated there. Someone can come and collect if there is a quantity

I am an avid reader and am always looking for new English reading material. If you are interested in an exchange of similar genres, please contact me. As a pensioner I prefer to swap rather than to buy.

Evasions is definitely where you want to go; they have a thriving English section and they will probably pay you more than Pele-Mele.

as mentioned

-Evasions on Rue du Midi. Open 7 days a week, BUT they only buy on weekdays and you have to get there early. They set a budget for the day, and once they hit it, they stop buying, normally around 11.30am.

- Pele Mele on Bvd Anspach, prices not as good as Evasions, but they're less picky. There is also another Pele Mele on Chaussée de Waterloo, up near La Bascule

others are:

Nijinski, run by a chap called Louie. Doesn't really buy "trash", more classics etc. Can't remember what street, but it's literally 50 metres from the tram stop "Trinité" in Ixelles, rue du Bailli area.

There one other I've sold English books too, but I can't remember the name of the exact location. It's in the Béguinage are in the centre.
