Thrift Books ~ Spend Less, Read More

Used Books from Thriftbooks Logo

Do you love to read? Are you looking for ways to save on your books? Then check out Thrift Books!

Thrift Books was started in July 2003 in a small storage unit in Kirkland, WA with a commitment to provide quality cheap used books at the lowest prices anywhere. Just two months after founding the company the first book was purchased and shipped: Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White for $4.74

Used bookstores have existed for centuries but Thrift Books’ founders recognized that the internet offers a more efficient medium for reusing books over and over again. Thrift Books offers a wider selection, lower prices, and easier access than any brick-and-mortar store. It also offers easy access to many unusual and difficult-to-find books.

Shipping is also low. It’s FREE to anywhere in the US, $2.99 to ship to Canada and the rest of the world only costs $4.99 to ship.

Are you interested? Would you like to save even more? Leave your email in a comment below and I will send you a coupon for 15% off of your first order. When you order, I will receive a 15% off coupon as well. It’s a win for both of us!

    I’m a huge reader and have spent an enormous amount of money on books! Since getting a Nook I mostly just get e-books now because of how convenient it is to just pick up my Nook that has a ton of different books loaded onto it instead of carrying around a handful of books I may or may not want to read while on my travels. I do still like to have physical copies of books that I really love, though. They become very comforting. I love that Thriftbooks specializes in used books because of how many people read a book, put it on a shelf, and promptly forget about it, and they just kind of go to waste without anyone around to enjoy them anymore.

    Some of my best books were thrifted! I found an original copy of The Hobbit last week at the DAV. First edition! Being the huge Tolkien fan that I am, I almost peed my pants, lol.

  12. Candace Says:

    It seems like I’ve gotten books from here, but it was through amazon and not free shipping. But if I can order with FREE shipping directly from them then that would be great! And if they are in Kirkland then they are close by so the books should get to me fast!

  13. Janelle Prentice Says:

    Sounds like a great website! I’ll have to check it out next time I’m in the market for books!

  14. Becca Says:
