Rare & Vintage Book'Em Finds

Along with the thousands of everyday favorites at the Book’Em Used Book Sale, we also discover remarkable vintage books among the donations that carry a little extra history and charm. When these rare finds don’t sell at the sale, we make them available year-round through our eBay store.

With the help of one of our volunteers, we’ve listed dozens of carefully verified rare and one-of-a-kind titles online. Each listing is marked with “BCPA” at the end of the title so you can easily identify them.

Proceeds from these sales support crime prevention efforts in Bloomington, with a portion covering listing fees. Because these books are rare and distinctive, prices are higher than our regular sale items — but they also come with bragging rights for having one of the coolest books on the shelf.

Take a look at these rare finds and share with anyone who might enjoy adding a special piece of history to their collection!
