WHOLESALE BOOKS

Wholesale Used Books


Thrift Books has over four million used books at any given time for sale. In addition to our core retail business, we offer an unlimited supply of wholesale books. All books have been examined for merchantability and are thus in good to excellent condition. They are excellent products for both domestic and international sale. Our extensive distribution network ensures a constant and quality supply of books and media. As with our retail book business, we are committed to offering the best prices on the market.

Books & Media

Thrift Books provides volume sales of presorted books—hardcover, paperback, and children’s books—in addition to music, videos, and other items which we receive from our suppliers. Most of these books were previously on our shelves but have been removed to make room for new inventory.   All books, unless otherwise specified, have ISBN numbers (and a tracking sticker on the spine) for easy cataloguing.

Distribution Centers

Our distribution centers are located in four different states around the country and located close to transportation routes for easy  shipping both domestically and internationally.  We can ship books from any of our facilities listed below:
  • Auburn, Washington
