I have been using ThriftBooks now for a couple of years. Im of two minds about it. I love books. I love to find old books or books that are out of print. (In an alternate life I would have a spinster librarian.) Thrift books is tricky because there is no way to know or see the ratings of the seller of the books. It’s Russian Roulette. Some books come quickly and in the state they were advertised in (like The Pocket Postman Book, a darling treasure). Other books advertised as “like new” (for instance The Day it Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond) take many weeks to come, and then arrive in BAD possibly “acceptable” shape with actual DIRT on the front AND back cover, a broken hardcover spine, and stickers covering the faces of some of the pictures. I teach and bought this book because I have only the board book edition and it is a class favorite. This is NOT acceptable. Two books in December came with BLACK MOLD on the inner pages. Really?! They are a total loss or money, hope, and gifts. I may continue to buy from ThriftBooks but would use it much more, if there was a way to praise the books that come timely/in good shape ? and rate those that don’t. ? Perhaps I’ll still stick with local Finds and Amazon for now because there is some accountability.
Absolutely love ThriftBooks

I absolutely love this site! I’m a huge reader and a huge collector of books. I have found books that I have been searching for years for but couldn’t find for less than $100 and I bought for $4! Sometimes the books don’t come exactly as described. Some I would say aren’t “like new” condition but not bad enough for me to complain. My biggest issue is your invoice doesn’t say the format. I am a collector of hardbacks and I have received paperbacks and I can’t double check to make sure it’s a mistake of the company or my mistake. I chalked up the first one I received as my mistake but the second one I sent an email about and haven’t heard back yet. I did receive one without a dust jacket which I know it didn’t say “dust jacket may be missing” I would have never bought a book without it. Emailed and they replaced the book so I’m happy! The shipping is on the slow Side. I’ve ordered at least 20 books over the past month since discovering this app and it’s been taking roughly 2 weeks to arrive but for the most part, they are worth the wait!
I have a question......do you also accept old books from people.

App and site site not working

I would rate this higher but I can’t navigate either the app or the website to make a purchase. It’s stuck on a perpetual loading loop.
Poor search feature and poor/slow syncing with website

I give this app only a 2 because I have yet to be able to find books. Searching by keyword or subject. However, when I’ve searched though the website I’ve found plenty of choices. Also, I have put items in my cart on the web but when I’ve tried purchasing them on my phone, it takes a long time before the items appear.
A truly incredible site!

I love How ThriftBooks gives books a second chance. Not only do my books come in good condition, it’s even better that I get it for such a low price! I think ThriftBooks has such an inspiring message by reselling these books instead of thrown by them away. They have a wide variety of books and classics and it’s always a pleasure to buy a book from here.
Awesome! Just awesome!

Books are in great shape. Fast delivery and great prices. No more struggling to find old books either. I’m never disappointed! ???
The best app!

I just recently started using this app and I’m so glad I did! The books are all at good prices and so is shipping. I bought 3 at the same time and the total was only $13 including shipping! It’s not the fastest service out there but they have everything you could ever want so it’s worth the wait. Love it!
