What's the difference between NMLP and Bookworks for book donations in Albuquerque?

Bookworks (4022 Rio Grande Blvd NW, plus a Nob Hill location) is a long-running independent Albuquerque bookstore. They accept some used books on a trade-credit basis — selective intake of clean, recent, in-demand titles. They are a real and important institution for the Albuquerque book ecosystem, but their model is bookstore inventory replenishment, not high-volume donation intake.

NMLP is structurally different:

• Free in-home pickup across the metro (Bookworks is drop-off and selective)
• Any condition accepted (Bookworks accepts only clean, recent, saleable trade-paperback titles)
• Any quantity, no minimum, no maximum (Bookworks accepts limited quantities at intake)
• No tax receipt (Bookworks doesn't issue tax receipts either — they offer trade credit instead)
• No trade credit (Bookworks offers store credit; NMLP doesn't)

The right routing:

• If you have 10-30 clean, recent, in-demand trade paperbacks (literary fiction, current bestsellers, popular non-fiction) and you want store credit you can spend on new books, route to Bookworks.
• If you have everything else — estate cleanout, mixed-condition collection, encyclopedias, magazines, water-damaged garage finds, anything older than the last few years — route to NMLP.
