I do not buy or sell books.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
Sales Coming Soon
The Squirrel Hill Friends have opened their "FriendShop", a major expansion of their Ongoing Book Sale.
Donations are always welcome.
As of May 7, 2013: The Ugly Truth
I haven't had time to keep the list of book sales and stores current for a long time.
I hope to publish an edition of the 2013 SaleList before the end of May.
In the meantime, the 2008 version of the SaleList can give you hints about who might be having a sale --
but you'll have to call the library or look online at their website to see if the sale is happening this year.
Click on the Word or PDF button (to the left) to see the 2008 info available.
The easiest way to find any library's website is to go to carnegielibrary.org and click on the tab marked
LOCATIONS AND DEPARTMENTS.
The map that comes up shows each branch of the CLP as a dot. Click on the dot to go to the branch info.
For other libraries in Allegheny County, click on the words "Allegheny County Libraries"
under QUICK LINKS on the right side of the page.
The Friends segment of this website is being kept current.
Used book sales in Western Pennsylvania are growing so fast that it’s hard to keep track of them all. Since early 2001, I’ve been compiling and disseminating a guide to Used Book Sales and Stores in and around Allegheny County (see About the SaleList). On April 27, 2005 this website was created to make it easier to share that SaleList. Here you can:
- download the SaleList in either a Microsoft Word or a .pdf (Portable Document Format) version so you can read it on your own computer or print a copy to carry around. If you have an old copy of the list and just want to update parts of it, you can choose to download small files of Revisions.
- browse the SaleList here and do a quick lookup of your favorite library or book store.
- get answers to Frequently Asked Questions such as "What can I do with my old magazines?" and "Can you sell me the book I am looking for?". Please read the FAQs page before you ask me a question via e-mail, because if your question is answered there I'll just be e-mailing the FAQ to you.
I have removed the pages intended for "Pittsburgh Exchange", a place to share ads and thoughts related to books, reading, recycling, sharing. Much of its purpose is already well served by www.craigslist.com and www.freecycle.com. Both permit free ads and have established themselves as strong sites.
I'd like to learn about any other sites for bookworms. (For sites I've already learned about, see page ii of the SaleList, "Sites of Interest".)
I'd particularly like to find a source for a good list of books written by Pittsburghers or about Pittsburgh.
Do you have foreign VHS tapes you want to watch?
I have two SONY VCR's that will play foreign tapes or American tapes
(there are two different formats which
cannot be interchanged, but these machines can read either).
Radio Shack sells a little gadget (cheap) that connects the VCRs to standard coaxial cables to go into your
TV.
I will give the VCRs to you. Contact me as shown above.
