Buying & Selling Used & Rare Books

Pages Past is a small used & rare bookshop located a few blocks from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. We have been serving the Triad community for over eight years, as well as customers from around the world. We have around 10-15,000 volumes in our shop. We specialize in North Caroliniana, Virginiana, Civil War, Old Leather, Christianity, Eastern and Western Philosophies, and the simply unusual. We very likely have the oldest books in Greensboro; we keep a nice selection of antiquarian volumes and scholarly books.

We are always interested in buying quality books in very good or better condition. Please feel free to stop by our shop or to browse our catalogues at the Advanced Book Exchange! (We only have about 20% of our stock listed online, so if there is a volume you cannot find, please call or email us so we can check for you).
