I accept Roger Zelazny donations anywhere in the Albuquerque metro with free pickup — the whole collection: the ten-book Chronicles of Amber, Lord of Light, This Immortal, Damnation Alley, the later novels and collaborations, and the short-story collections. 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
Zelazny was one of science fiction's great stylists — and, fittingly for this corner of the world, he spent his later years in Santa Fe. His readers tend to keep deep runs of the Amber books and the early novels, so a Zelazny shelf turns up regularly in New Mexico cleanouts. Most people clearing one 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
The Chronicles of Amber
The original Corwin cycle (Nine Princes in Amber, The Guns of Avalon, Sign of the Unicorn, The Hand of Oberon, The Courts of Chaos) and the Merlin cycle (Trumps of Doom through Prince of Chaos), plus the omnibus editions.
The novels & novellas
Lord of Light, This Immortal, The Dream Master, Isle of the Dead, Jack of Shadows, Doorways in the Sand, Roadmarks, Eye of Cat, A Night in the Lonesome October, Damnation Alley, and the collaborations with Robert Sheckley, Fred Saberhagen, and others.
Stories & anthologies
The short-story collections (The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth; The Last Defender of Camelot), the Wild Cards volumes he contributed to, and the anthologies he edited. 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.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I donate Roger Zelazny books in Albuquerque?
Right here — free pickup anywhere in the metro for the whole collection: the Amber books, Lord of Light, the novels and stories. Call or text 505-250-3804.
Can I drop Roger Zelazny books off instead of waiting for a pickup?
Yes. The covered 24/7 drop box outside the gate at 5445 Edith Blvd NE takes them any hour, and someone is at the warehouse from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. to help unload a bigger load.
Worn paperbacks too?
Yes — worn paperbacks, book-club editions, incomplete Amber runs, and anthologies. Just don't throw any of it out first.
