Book Trader Cafe, LLC

Opened in 1998, Book Trader Café is an independent used book store and café in the heart of the Yale University campus. With over 16,000 titles in stock, our bookstore specializes in academic, art, architecture, & photography books. Unlike other used bookstores, you won't find any musty tomes with broken bindings here. We cull the best copies of the best books to offer our customers, and price them conservatively. Our selection is ever-changing!  We'll be happy to check our shelves if you call looking for a particular book. If you find something you'd like please call ahead; most of our online inventory is stored off-site.
