We Buy Books for Cash
We are always in the market to buy second hand vintage books, newspapers, magazines, prints, posters, drawings, maps/charts and historic ephemera.
This can be from either private vendors having a clean out or estate/private collection sales.
A large part of our mission is to get old book collections back into the hands of readers who will appreciate them as much as the last owner did, rather than ending up being thrown out.
Just email us some photos of your items and we can quickly provide you an appraisal and offer. For larger lots we can travel to complete an appraisal, once a offer in principal is agreed.

Book Valuation Service
Unicorn Books Ltd provides a leading valuation service for vintage books and ephemera.
Our team have years of experience in trading rare books and ephemera worldwide, and one of our company directors has practiced as a valuer since 2004. This includes an affiliation to Valuers Institute of New Zealand and providing assessments relied on by banks and insurers.
Valuations can be included with books that we have either sold, or be undertaken for larger collections.
The assessment can be used to confirm either the current market retail value or the replacement value for insurance.
To complete a valuation we normally require either a selection of good images emailed that well depict the collection, or we will travel to inspect larger collections in situ anywhere in New Zealand.
