Quietly tucked away in the Westbrook Shopping Center on Calder (think The Joy Shop or New York Pizza) is a little bookstore called Red B4 Books, much like Half-Price Books located in other cities. Why would you be interested in this little bookstore? If you are a book-lover and have mounds of books you haven’t touched in years, take them to Red B4 Books. There, you can trade your books or donate them. If you are trading, you can swap books for others of its kind (i.e. fiction for fiction). Or, if you are not ready to swap yet, you can bring your books in and receive a store credit. Moving? There’s no sense in hauling all those books you’ll never read again, take them to Red B4 Books instead!

Used paperbacks generally sell for half of what you'd pay for a new book, which is $4. Used hardcovers generally sell between $6-8.

Red B4 Books has been operating for the last 15 years, with the current owners running the shop since 1998.
