BookEnds

BookEnds We are a second-hand charity bookshop on the University of Aberdeen campus, run by student volunteers Simple!

For over 30 years BookEnds has been providing students with not only a way to buy cheap textbooks, CDs and DVDs but also a way to make some money. We currently have over 6000 books in the shop, ranging from textbooks to literature, fiction and general knowledge. You set the price of the book and when it is sold you get two thirds of it, the other third being donated to charity! If you would like t

o turn your books into money, all you need to do is: bring your books/CDs/DVDs into the shop,
choose your own prices and fill in the form.
