TBs is my go to site for my reading pleasures. Almost always find what I'm looking for and the prices are great & fast shipping. Just received 5 books I ordered just a few days ago.

Books are fine
Books are fine, however, I did not receive the CD’s with the Sunshine on my Shoulders and For Baby. I was very disappointed because I wanted the CDa to play for my grandsons.

Great job Thriftbooks
Just found Thrift books a couple weeks ago while looking for an out of print book. I looked on the site and they actually had what I was looking for plus found a couple more, ordered them and received my order pretty quick. Completely satisfied. Just made my second order, we'll see how it goes. Can find about anything you want for a decent price. Keep up the great work.

About who we were & how we got here
Some of the reading material is from history in the making. I missed some things because kids had a lot of stress to conform to the norms of society. Things were seen and not understood. One gets to catch up. Wish we could return some of these books back into the system. I drop them off into to the used book box outside of the library.

Love this site
Love this site! Able to get hard to find books about rowing that have really enhanced my coaching. Building a very impressive library affordably. I also buy extra copies of favorite books to share with friends.

I love getting my books from ThriftBooks
ThriftBooks offers a huge selection of used books and many are in large print (which is all I read these days). I have learned to order several books so they arrive in time for my next read. I like that the books arrive in better condition than I was expecting.
