Thriftbooks
Thriftbooks is the world's largest online independent used book seller, operating with state-of-the-art automation and advanced analytics in a safety-first environment. Its primary customer web and mobile destination is its brand home, ThriftBooks.com. It also continues to sell on Amazon, eBay, Abe, and other commerce sites where booklovers gather. Thriftbooks' partnerships extend into communities across the country. Its profit-sharing relationship with libraries large and small enables them to support these valuable institutions by finding homes for ex-library books and working with Friends of Library groups across the country to provide financial support for their continued success. Thriftbooks gives back to communities through the ThriftBooks Cares pillar, designed to connect with communities in the US and globally donating books to those in need—including schools, non-profit organizations, and those rebuilding after natural disasters.
