The Austin (Used) Book Collective (ABC) is a small group of independent booksellers. Each of us carries a unique and thoughtfully—lovingly—curated selection of high-quality, secondhand books. Together, we support a diverse range of interests and tastes.

With the goal of creating community around a shared passion for reading and book collecting, the ABC organizes regular markets in collaboration with coffee shops, bars, and other area businesses. In addition to our members, each sale features at least one guest vendor. To date, we have teamed up with other used-book specialists, dealers in vintage comics, and local bookmakers.
