14. bookcloseouts.com  |
Visit bookcloseouts.com now! |
BookCloseout.com prides itself as being “The Best Seller in Bargain Books,” and with discounts ranging from 50% to 80% off, they might just be right. The books sold on the site are unread books that are sold by the publisher in order to avoid and excessive amount of inventory. Therefore, because of the handling of the book they all bare a mark along the top of the pages that indicate them as “bargain books”. But other than that, they are in mint condition. Finding a better deal on unread books may prove virtually impossible! Sometimes they even have sales on their already bargained priced items! Be sure to check out the site for such sales and promotion events; you surely wouldn’t want to miss out.

Visit halfpricebooks.com now! |
Started in 1972 with a very modestly sized store in Dallas, Texas, Half Price Books carried over 2,000 books from the personal libraries of its Co-founders. Now with locations in 15 states, Half Price Books continues with its original dream to make incredible new and used books available to the public at unbelievable prices. It is important to note, however, that HalfPriceBooks.com does not in fact sell books on their website.

However, if you can take the time to find the best value, or know of a location near you, this is a great way to see if a certain location has your book by placing a call to their friendly customer service number.
