Seattle's secondhand bookstores are packed to the brim with gently used and loved novels, non-fiction, and more. But these bookstores are curated. They don't want any junk. That means selling your books can be an emotionally harrowing experience, watching someone thumb through your precious pages (even if they are castoffs).

KUOW's Katie Campbell decided to put her ego on the line for the sake of listeners, and took a stack of books to the experts. Listen for tips and tricks to selling your books, whether they're recent titles or antiquated treasures.
