Are You A BOOK JUNKIE?

Do you find yourself sub-consciously wandering into bookstores when you're in town? Can't quit buying books when you already have 5 (OR MORE!) unread books on your
shelf?

Well, you are the BOOK JUNKIE we're looking for! And this is the Junkyard of Books for you!

Imagine a world where you can discuss books with other book junkies, get great second hand books at bargain prices, sell your own books at no costs at all, and rent books by clicking on the mouse & simply wait for the book to be delivered to your home.

Well, this space is not everything I imagine it to be, yet. But I am working extra super hard to try to make it into such a space - book club, second hand bookstore, a place to sell, buy or rent books all rolled into one- the dream space of every book junkie.

Stay tuned to Junkyard of Books!

The 101s in Junkyard of Books: What do all the Book Conditions Mean?

What does "No one would know" really mean?

Found a book you like, but unsure of its condition? Each of the books posted here comes with a description of its condition. Here at Junkyard of Books, we categorize our books into four conditions:

1. Brand New.
Well, it is brand new! You are going to be its first owner!

2. No one would know.
This book looks so new that only the shrewd eyed reader will be able to tell that it is second hand. I could pass it off as a brand new book but I can't bring myself to lie to you! Books in this condition is perfect as budget gifts for friends as well (:

3. Good enough for yourself
As opposed to the "No one would know" second hand book, that is suitable as gifts for friends, this category of books are "good enough for yourself". But they are in no way falling apart - I should rephrase and say, "it is perfect for yourself"!

4. Only for Book Junkies
This is for the absolute book junkie - some tatters won't deter you from laying your hands on the book you want!

In addition to these general categorizations, each posting also comes with finer details of the book under the section, "Other Details". And if you still need more information, feel free to drop a comment or email junkyardofbooks.gmail.com for more details.
