I accept Philip K. Dick donations anywhere in the Albuquerque metro with free pickup — the whole collection: the novels (The Man in the High Castle, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Ubik, A Scanner Darkly, VALIS), the story collections, the old Ace Double paperbacks, and the posthumous and Library of America volumes. 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
Dick has become one of the most influential science-fiction writers there is — the source of Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, and a shelf of others — so PKD collections turn up regularly, usually a deep run of paperbacks with a few hardcovers mixed in. Most people clearing them just want the shelf cleared. 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 novels
The Man in the High Castle, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Ubik, A Scanner Darkly, Flow My Tears the Policeman Said, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, Martian Time-Slip, VALIS and the late "VALIS trilogy," and the mainstream novels published after his death.
Stories & the Ace Doubles
The short-story collections (The Preserving Machine, the five-volume Collected Stories), and the early Ace Double paperback originals where several of his first novels appeared (Solar Lottery, The World Jones Made, and others) — the format collectors hunt for.
Posthumous & scholarly
The Exegesis, the Library of America volumes, the letters, the biographies, and the film tie-in editions. Any printing, any condition.
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.

Yes — the Ace Double originals, worn paperbacks, book-club editions, and incomplete runs. Just don't throw any of it out first.
