About Us
RedWell Books is a Vancouver based online book seller. We sell unique, rare, signed, and out-of-print used books.
Simply put, we believe in literacy, and all the wonderful things that surround it. Whether the imaginative wonderings a wonderful story can ignite, or simply the smell that wafts up when opening the pages a time worn tale from the past.
We try to bring your attention to books, authors, editions, and bookstores that you may not be familiar with. We hope to broaden your horizons or simply to remind you of an old leatherbound friend.
Why used books? Because they are greener. Going back to the three R's - Reduce, Re-Use, and Recycle. With the second life you can give to a used book, you help us cover two of the three. (Though seeing a nice old paperback book going to the paper recylcer is heartbreaking... so we prefer the first two.)
Supporting Writers and Readers? Yes, we do. A percentage of our sales every year, goes back directly into the literary community. Whether that is donations to local festivals, charities, literacy campaigns, or contributing directly to the authors themselves, your purchases allow us to foster our community.
Other used bookstores. There are lots of wonderful independant bookstores out there. Hopefully you have one close to your home. Please shop there when you have the opportunity. We would sooner have you shop at your local independant bookseller, than here online with us. Though if we can provide you with a product, that you cannot find locally. We are glad to do so.
Contact information. Presently, we only reside online. Though one day, we intend to open a brick and mortar location. All in good time. We are located in Vancouver, Canada. If you see something on our site that you like, we would be happy to arrange a local pickup or dropoff for you if you are in the vicinity.
