I accept Anne Hillerman donations anywhere in the Albuquerque metro with free pickup — the whole collection: the Leaphorn, Chee, and Bernadette Manuelito mysteries that continue her father Tony Hillerman's series (from Spider Woman's Daughter onward), plus her New Mexico photography and nonfiction. You don't sort or price anything. Bring it all: I check every book by hand, and readable copies go back to readers.
Published June 2026 · By Josh Eldred, New Mexico Literacy Project
Anne Hillerman, a Santa Fe writer, took up her late father Tony's beloved Navajo-country mysteries and carried them forward — moving Officer Bernadette Manuelito to center stage alongside Leaphorn and Chee. Her readers here in New Mexico often shelve her books right next to her father's, and when a collection gets cleared, most people just want it to go somewhere good. That's exactly what I'm for: I take the whole thing, free, and I check every book.
What I take: all of it
The Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito novels
The continuation series — Spider Woman's Daughter, Rock with Wings, Song of the Lion, Cave of Bones, The Tale Teller, Stargazer, The Sacred Bridge, The Way of the Bear, and onward.
The New Mexico nonfiction
Her photography and travel books on New Mexico and the Southwest, including Tony Hillerman's Landscape and the Santa Fe and Gardens of Santa Fe books.
Any condition
Reading copies, signed copies, the "Dark Winds" tie-in editions, and incomplete runs — bring whatever's on the shelf, and the Tony Hillerman books alongside them.
Why bring the whole shelf
Donating takes one call or text: no research, no pricing, no listings, no shipping. Free pickup in the Albuquerque metro, or the covered 24/7 drop box outside the gate at 5445 Edith Blvd NE, any hour. I check every book by hand, readable copies go back to readers, and no readable book goes to the landfill. Here's where donated books go.
How free pickup works
Call or text 505-250-3804 (or schedule online), tell me roughly how much there is and where you are, and I add you to the next route through your area. I come to you and load it all. I cover Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, the East Mountains, and the surrounding metro, and I handle whole-house and estate cleanouts regularly.

Right here — free pickup anywhere in the metro for the whole collection: the Manuelito/Chee/Leaphorn novels and the New Mexico nonfiction. Call or text 505-250-3804.
Can I drop Anne Hillerman books off instead of waiting for a pickup?

Paperbacks and incomplete sets too?
Yes — worn paperbacks, book-club editions, incomplete runs, plus the Tony Hillerman books alongside. Just don't throw any of it out first.
