Buoyed by the heavy turnout for its first buying spree in Seattle last year, Portland-based Powell's Books plans to purchase used volumes from the public inside University Book Store next month, while helping that store launch its own used-book business.
Powell's will operate a kiosk at University Book Store, 4326 University Way N.E., from Sept. 10 to 18. People will be offered either cash or credit that can be used at University Book Store. The books Powell's buys will be taken back to Oregon to be sold there.
Then on Sept. 22, University Book Store, which already trades in used textbooks, will begin buying and selling used books of all kinds on a permanent basis, general book manager Mark Mouser said.
Used books have become a growth business for brick-and-mortar booksellers in recent years. Bailey/Coy Books, 414 Broadway E., started selling used books last week.
