History

Apt13books.com was started during the pandemic as a small e-commerce bookstore which gave 20% of its profit from every book to non-profit organizations which somehow reached victims of human trafficking in their work. Then eBay and Squarespace changed their shopping cart preferences so that you could no longer segregate the non-taxable portion of the book costs from the taxable portion. With no alternative, the charity portion of the bookstore had to shut down. Three years later, we’ve moved platforms, restarted our eBay account, and decided to find other ways to be charitable. For now, we just want to provide a space to talk about and trade books, and a way to provide competitive pricing.

Prices will vary depending on condition: gently and barely used books to acceptable copies, hardcover and softcover, as well as first editions and signed editions.
