Ukazoo Books opened its doors in Dulaney Plaza in Towson, MD on June 18th, 2007. In July of 2017 we moved to our current location on Loch Raven Blvd. 
Currently, due to COVID-19 and CDC suggestions, we are accepting donations of books only, up to 5 boxes or bags per person, please no loose books. What books we will look at is still in effect. We hope to bring buyback back up once it is possible
 
What kind of books are we looking to buy? The ones people are buying! We have been tracking books for years to have an idea of what is going to sell. We will look at books with an ISBN or International Standard Book Number (can be on the cover, on the title page, or part of the barcode, mostly in books from 1973 and newer).  We don't buy encyclopedia sets, advanced reading copy books, magazines, damaged (includes mold and water damaged), and condensed books. 
 
Fully stocked, we have over 30,000titles, in just about every category you can think of, including fiction and non-fiction, ranging from business management to military history to poetry and drama. We have particularly strong biography, religion, romance, and mystery/thriller sections.
Our bookstore is organized by subject matter and alphabetically by author. Our trained staff is happy to help you find any titles you're looking for.
Our used books are in great condition. Each book is examined prior to shelving to ensure it is Clean and Tight. All books are guaranteed to be Clean with little or no underlining, highlighting or coloring, and Tight with no loose pages or torn bindings.
All merchandise can be returned with receipt for store credit within 10 days of the date of purchase. We reserve the right to limit or decline refunds. Gift cards cannot be returned for cash.
 
Our used books are competitively priced, and are often significantly less than half the publisher's list price. Our books are even less expensive than those available for $0.01 online, once you take shipping into account. And with our great ongoing Buy 3 Used Books, Get the 4th Free! promotion, you're guaranteed a good deal!
We have trained acquisitions personnel on staff to help you track down any book you are looking for. We have a large inventory of books in our warehouses. In-stock warehouse books are usually available in 1–2 weeks. Books that are not in our warehouse stock can be special ordered for you, and are usually available in 2–3 weeks. You can pick books up in-store or have them shipped directly to you.
Ukazoo Books is open Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday from 10am–3pm, Thursday 10am - 5pm, Friday & Saturday 10am - 6pm, and Sunday from Noon–4pm.. We will be closed on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
