ABOUT THRIFTBOOKS

ThriftBooks is the world's largest data-driven online second-hand bookstore. Thats a mouthful. Let us explain We buy used books that the original owners no longer need. We buy them from libraries and thrift stores and schools. We do this at scale - hundreds of millions of pounds of books per year. We comb through these cast-offs looking for books that we know our customers will love. We add the best books to our inventory. The rest we recycle. We list our inventory on thriftbooks.com where our customers find low-priced books and a fantastic customer experience. We began in 2003 with a small storage unit in Seattle and have grown to over eight million books in six fulfillment centers across the United States. We are growing rapidly and need your help!
