Trusted and Reliable
I always know I will get a great deal on nearly new books. Price is important! I rarely spend for new books. But it’s not just the great price. Thrift books has great service, too. They let me know books are on the way and I’ve never had a book go missing or arrive damaged by shipping. All good!

You mentioned that the book is used and…
You mentioned that the book is used and it looked almost new. There was a spillage on the side of the book, pages were folded, and the book almost ripped.
It's not worth my money and shipping for an "almost looked new". Disappointed.
The book arrived as scheduled. Thanks!

Very happy with my experience with this site
All the books I get are almost like new for a fraction of the retail cost. Very happy that I know of this site. Easy to find books. Easy to order. Delivery service is pretty quick.

A great source of books
So many times I've been able to find the book I've been looking for on the ThriftBooks site. I have a long medical treatment once a month, and I can sit and read a book, as a book, not an ebook. ThriftBooks costs more than going to a library would cost, but I have an immune disorder so I can't go to libraries without risking infection.
