About our shop
The Houghton Book Shop is an all-volunteer enterprise that accepts donations of used books in all subject categories and resells them to support scholarships to Houghton College, Houghton, NY.

Occasionally we receive books whose appeal is to readers with specialized interests. These are auctioned on eBay and posted in our on-line store from time to time. Bookmark this page or our on-line store for easy access to our auctions. http://stores.ebay.com/The-Houghton-Book-Shop-Online
