Book Passage

Books & Audiobooks
Book Passage has been nurturing books, discussing books, and matching those books with customers for over 40 years. We love working with readers who may have their own book groups and their own favorite selections. If you can’t find the book you want on our shelves or on our search engine, please give us a call and ask one of our book experts to help you find what you want.

Our BIG Selection of Books for the Holidays! 

For Adult Books, Click here    For Children's Books, Click here

The Book Passage staff has compiled over 250 titles of books for the holidays, from fiction to history, memoir to sports, poetry to cooking -- not to mention more 100 books for kids. We think you'll enjoy scrolling through our "flipbooks" of titles, each one with a write-up about the book and an on-line purchase form. But if you would rather come into one of our two stores, we'd be happy to show you the books ourselves and share with you why we like them so much.

Used Books & 10,000 Degrees

Book Passage has a big, active used book section, and we welcome you to come browse through our collection.

Curently, they are providing support to more than 2,200 students from 12,000 families -- 85% of them first-generation college students,and 100% low-income.

Book Passage  welcomes your used book donations, especially fiction, mystery, biography, history, non-fiction, cookbooks, and kids books.  Both hardcovers and paperbacks are welcome. You can bring them by the store or cotact dkidder@bookpassage.com to make arrangements.
