Poets & Thieves would also like to declare ourselves to be carbon neutral despite the tonnes of trees that had to die so that we could exist. Our recycled books are made from 100% recycleable paper. We also recycle shelves by retrieving them from the dumpsters near to other secondhand bookstores in the process of closing down. In addition to all this, Poets & Thieves Quality Secondhand Books are working on ways to keep warm this winter after new research from the CSIRO discovered that the entire Harry Potter series* could keep a small family warm for up to 16 days if burned correctly.

*Hardcover editions only
