Free Book Collections from Your Home, Workplace or Business in Adelaide
LAST UPDATED: 1 September 2024
Are you in Adelaide? Do you have excess books in excellent condition or too many media like records, CD and DVDs? Page & Turner’s Adelaide Book Rescue offers book collection in Adelaide for people who want to donate their books. If you’re looking to downsize or declutter, our Adelaide Book Rescue service can probably help. We also help people who are managing deceased estates and do so in a sensitive manner.
If you’ve got over 100 books or other media in excellent condition that you’d like collected in the inner Adelaide metropolitan area (up to about 15 kilometres from the CBD) you can CALL MARK NOW ON 0466 368 456 to arrange a time for collection within approximately two weeks.
Collections from outside the inner Adelaide metropolitan area and the collection of very large libraries of books may take more time to coordinate, and please note that we may not be able to take all the books in a collection of over 500 books.
We will endeavour to arrive punctually and will pack up your books in our own boxes and take them away. Please note this pickup service is usually for donations only. We resell books that are of very good quality online and in our new bookshop on Level 2 of Myer Centre Adelaide.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not usually collect sets of post-1950 encyclopaedias, Reader’s Digest books (condensed books, guides and coffee table books) magazines, old textbooks or ex-library books.
We also take donations of records, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and now sheet music!
We Also Purchase Some Books in Excellent Condition
Please note that we usually only purchase quality pre-loved books in excellent, mint condition. We may also purchased some older antiquarian or vintage books in very good condition.
If you’d like to sell some of your books please call Mark on 0466 368 456.
We are always looking for very high quality books, both fiction and non-fiction, in the following genres:
- Recent Australian and Other Fiction
- Classic Literature
- Folio Society books
- History and Politics, especially Australian History & Australian Politics
- Books about War and the Military
- Old and modern First Editions in good condition
- Recently published books about Business, Health and Science
- Manga and comics.
If you have a good library or collections of books in these categories please contact us to arrange for us to assess their value.
What Happens to My Books?
We sort the books donated to us into those which we can sell and those which we cannot. Books which do not meet our very high standards are donated to charities. Books that are too old or damaged to be resold are recycled if possible.
Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge this place is on the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today. We also pay respects to the cultural authority of Aboriginal people visiting/attending from other areas of South Australia/Australia.
