Trade Policy

Effective Nov 15, 2011

Cover to Cover gives a trade towards other books based upon the value of what we would sell the books for. Most books sell for UP TO half the cover price. Please bring any books you have for trade to the counter BEFORE you start to browse as we cannot guarantee that we will take any of them (whether they were purchased from us or not). There are some books that are cash only, no trade can be used on them. All of your trade must be used on the day you bring the books in.

Some books are traded within specific categories. Please check back page for details.

Cover to Cover does not accept other stores non-returnables, library discards, or garage sale leftovers.

Books from our former 2099A and 7-2835 Pembina address and Bookshelf books will only be taken back if we have a need for them.

We do not hold books for trading purposes.

NO CROSS TRADING! Books for Books, comics for comics, etc. Archie Digest are also traded only for other Archie Digests due to high demand. .

We no longer accept books under $5.95 cover price except in Science Fiction, Mystery, War (Non-fiction) , Westerns, Literature, Paranormal and some collectors/out of print books. We now only take books on tape if they were purchased from Cover to Cover and they are traded for other books on tape not Books on CD.

Romances (Harlequin Presents Romances, Intrigue, Super romances Historical and any Silhouette) published before Jan 2011, will only be accepted if originally purchased from us with our store stamp in them and if we have need or room for them. Romance that are soiled and damaged will not be taken regardless if they were purchased here or not.

Trading fees and GST cannot be deducted from credits as the GST goes to the govt. in cash and our creditors require cash for their services.. .you know, things like heat, light, rent, etc. Should the GST be removed or changed, a trading fee will be added for straight trades and trades with a purchase under $2.00.There is also a $1.00 extra charge for any tax on trades under $1.00 paid by debit or credit card. THERE IS NO TRADING ON SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS (that we are opened).
