Book Buyback
We buy used books (20 book maximum at a time) for store credit that can currently be spent towards 50% of each purchase of used books, bargain books, t-shirts and drinkware. We are looking for books for adults and children in very good to excellent condition, published within the last 10 years or classic reads. Due to limited storage, we may not accept all items. Those items can either be returned to you or we can donate them to local causes. We do not accept text books, comics, magazines, books with smoke or water damage. We will update social media with the specific types of books we may be looking for and you can email info@frenchietalesbooks.com with any questions. You may also use the contact form below to send a list of books you would like to sell before bringing them into the store.
Our Story
Frenchie Tales went from a dream to reality in the spring of 2026. As a Pre-K - 12th educator for the past 23 years and a Mom of two children, literacy and reading has been a passion of mine. It's been a privilege to help foster a love of reading with students and to now have this opportunity for the greater community. As an avid reader myself, I love everything books! My husband and I have lived and worked in Franklin County for over 20 years and I am so excited to bring this small business to the square of Greencastle.
Local Authors
Frenchie Tales plans to host quarterly author book signing events, beginning in the fall of 2026. If you are a local author interested in consideration for this type of event, please email Frenchie Tales at info@frenchietalesbooks.com for additional information. We look forward to hearing from you!
