Effective immediately, Ferguson Books will allow ONLY 2 medium sized boxes per visit per day for trading in your used books. Due to staffing concerns, anything larger than that, whether it be for trade-in credits or outright donation, need to call in advance for an appointment so we can dedicate the time for the care of your books and ensure the appropriate staff is on hand to serve your needs better. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
To call for an appointment call:
Bismarck: (701) 751-0708
West Fargo: (701) 532-2106
Yes! We take your gently used books! (but some we may reject)
Credit works toward 25% of new products, 50% of used product purchases!
