I accept Robert B. Parker donations anywhere in the Albuquerque metro with free pickup — the whole collection: the Spenser novels, the Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall series, the Westerns (Appaloosa and its sequels), the Raymond Chandler continuations (Poodle Springs, Perchance to Dream), and the standalone novels. 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
Parker revived the private-eye novel for a new generation, and his Spenser books are read in long, loyal runs — so a Parker shelf is usually deep, dozens of titles strong. When one gets cleared, most people just want it gone. That's exactly what I'm for: I take the whole thing, free, and I check every book.
What I take: all of it
Spenser
The full forty-book Spenser run, from The Godwulf Manuscript (1973) and God Save the Child through the late novels and the posthumous continuations by Ace Atkins.
The other series & Westerns
The Jesse Stone novels, the Sunny Randall novels, and the Westerns (Appaloosa, Resolution, Brimstone, Blue-Eyed Devil) — plus the Cole and Hitch continuations.
Standalones & the Chandler books
Wilderness, Love and Glory, All Our Yesterdays, the young-adult novels, and Parker's completion of Chandler's Poodle Springs plus his sequel Perchance to Dream. Any edition, 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.
