What can you donate?

We consider French-language novels, classics, crime fiction, essays, memoirs, books about writing, children's and young adult books, including translations into French.

Light wear is often fine. Please mention marks, inscriptions or damage. We cannot accept mould, strong odours, water damage or missing pages.

Send a few details first

Use the form below or WhatsApp to send photos of the spines or a short list, the approximate number of books, their condition and your area or postcode. No complete catalogue needed.

Once we confirm which books we can accept, arrange a handover in Headington on weekdays by appointment, or at Gloucester Green Market, Saturdays 9am–5pm from 19 September 2026.

Collection in Oxfordshire or London may be possible for suitable groups of books. Please wait for our agreement before travelling or leaving books anywhere.

Outside Oxford?

If you are outside Oxford, we cover postage for donated books we have agreed to accept. Please contact us first so we can confirm the books and agree postal arrangements before you send them.
