At this time our used book department has over 90,000 used books in stock. We specialize in theological and biblical studies. We also have a strong emphasis on general Christian books, sermonic material, and pastoral helps. We are always purchasing used books in both small quantities and entire libraries. This means our inventory is constantly changing. If you are looking for an out-of-print book or even a currently in-print book at a substantially reduced price, we will be happy to search our shelves for whatever you want. For small quantities, feel free to contact us. If possible, for 10 or more books, please contact us by email, fax, regular mail, or use our convenient used book request form here on our web site.

Our hurt & remainder department has over 20,000 out of print, remainder, and hurt books from our publishing division and from other select Christian publishers. These books are priced at 50% off the normal retail price. Any damage to the books is purely cosmetic (shelf wear, bent pages, bent corners, etc.) and does not affect the readability or usability of the book. We are so sure that you will be pleased with our bargain prices that we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with a book you order from us, simply return it and we will promptly refund the purchase price.

Baker Book House was founded by Herman Baker as a used store in 1939. He began with only 500 books from his personal library. The original store was located at 1019 Wealthy Street, SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The business grew quickly under Herman Baker's leadership. Soon Baker Book House was selling new books and even publishing books. The years have brought tremendous growth to all of the Baker Book House enterprises including used books.

In 1980 our main Baker retail store, moved to a new, much larger facility at 2768 East Paris Avenue, SE in Kentwood, a suburban area of Grand Rapids.

In addition to walk-in customers, we now serve customers by mail, phone, fax, and now e-mail from around the world. In fact, it is not unusual for us to both sell and purchase more used books in one day than Herman Baker had when he opened our store.
