We are phasing out our book sales, so if you see something you want, chances are that we will sell it to you at a very low price.
Music Sales: Books
The Organ Library sells duplicates of donated books as a service to the organ community. All proceeds are used to support the mission of the Organ Library. Please remember that these are used books; the condition of the books is reflected in the price. Many books on the list have not yet been priced. If you wish to order any of them, send us an email and we will determine prices for the items you desire. Our prices are very reasonable and we are happy to see the items go to an appreciative reader. No returns will be accepted. Orders from dealers will not be accepted.
To order books, please send us an e-mail at
orglib@bu.edu
Please be sure to include your mailing address.
Every effort is made to keep this list of used books up-to-date, but items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis; some may no longer be available when your order is received.
You will be informed of the total cost of the books + shipping via a PayPal invoice. Payment may also be made by check payable to “The Organ Library.” The mailing address for checks will be provided to customers via email. Check payments will delay shipment of the order. Orders from outside North America must be paid through PayPal. (N. B. International postage is very expensive. The US Postal service requires airmail.) Since the Library charges comparatively little for books, buyers are requested to add 5% to the invoice to cover the costs charged to the Library by PayPal. Payment may be made to <orglib@bu.edu>.
