Quality Guidelines
Because books will be purchased by others to read in their homes, we accept only new or gently used and clean items or rare and best loved treasures. We do not accept donations of moldy, dirty, written in, defaced or otherwise damaged items.
To Donate
Donations may be left at Macy's loading docks at Chesterfield, Crestwood, Galleria, South County and West County or at the Book House located on the upper parking lot behind the parking garage at the corner of Forsyth and Jackson.
To donate 3 boxes or more, call the Book Fair message center at (314) 993-1995. Please leave your name, phone number and zip code. A Book Fair representative will call you back within 48 hours to schedule a pickup.
Tax Deductions
Donations may be tax deductible. Please email stlouisbookfair@gmail.com to request a receipt post card. At this time, we can not provide a valuation of each donation. However, we suggest you use the guideline of $1 for paperback books and $1- $5 for hardback books.
