Pictures of our different price stickers!
All of our books are individually priced. You can find the value of each book by either looking on the back of the book or inside on the very first page.
We accept US Dollar, Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.
We have an inventory of all our adult books and can look up titles to see if we have them. Our baby, children, teen, and young adult books are not in our inventory and must be looked for on the sales floor.
Keep an eye out for our daily and monthly sales! You can find great deals.
Layaway is available for the higher value books.
We are a contracted business, not affiliated with AAFES or NAF, but give a percentage of our sales to Services!
We cannot do online sales or ship books.
Have books you no longer need? Look no further, we can take them off your hands and give you store credit for the books we accept!
HOW IT WORKS: Please read all below before coming in!
Bring in books and receive store credit! The credit you'll get is based on a few things, but it is typically around 10% of the retail price on the book (e.g., if your book is $20.00 retail price, you may receive 2.00 in credit). Please note that you may have to take the books back that we cannot accept. For more information on books we do not accept, please visit this page and look at our "Do Not Take" list.
If you are wanting to donate books and you are NOT seeking store credit, drop the books off whenever you are able to Monday-Friday 1030-1530 or Saturday 1130-1530.
If you are wanting to bring in books in exchange for store credit and the amount of books you are bringing is fewer than 25 books then you can come in any time between Monday-Friday 1030-1530 or Saturday 1130-1530.
If you are wanting to bring in books in exchange for store credit and the amount of books you are bringing is greater than 25 books please make an appointment! Appointments can be made Monday-Friday 1030-1530 or Saturday 1130-1530. Contact us via email (booksrmagicramstein@gmail.com), phone call (06371 560 8106), or Facebook/Instagram message!
While we are looking through your books, feel free to look around the store. We ask for you to stay while we process the books so you can take back the ones we were unable to accept.
HOW THE STORE CREDIT WORKS:
When you bring in books, they can be one of two types of credit. Specialty/Collectible or regular. You will be given the appropriate credit based on what type of book you bring in.
What is specialty/collectible credit? We're glad you asked! It is credit that can be used towards books that are marked with a red "S" or "C" (which stands for specialty or collectible). These are the harder to come by, rare, or antique editions of books.
LEAVING AND HAVE LEFTOVER CREDIT IN YOUR ACCOUNT?
Unfortunately, we cannot cash out the remaining credit in your account. You can transfer your credit to someone else, or you can give it to a specific organization such as:
Miscellaneous charities including but not limited to: Girl Scouts, Red Across, USO
Any School in the KMC (Ramstein HS and Landstuhl Elementary PTSA have their own accounts in case you would like to specifically donate to them)
The School Age Program
The Ramstein Youth Department
Our very own Random Acts of Kindness account for whenever people are a few dollars short of their purchase
You can also create new accounts for people or organizations! Gift cards are available and can be purchased with store credit!
Our business and loyalty card!
On the back of our business card is our loyalty program! For every $10.00 you spend, you earn a stamp. If you get twelve stamps, you receive $10.00 in store credit that you can use on your next purchase!
Buying collectibles or specialty books will give you stamps on a collectible or specialty card. It works the same as a regular stamp card, however the $10.00 in store credit you will receive will be able to be used towards collectible or specialty books.
Forgot your stamp card at home? No worries! We will give you another one and you can combine them at a later time.
You do not have to use your store credit all at once. It also never expires!
