This is my first time with ThriftBooks…
This is my first time with ThriftBooks and I’m really happy with the accuracy of the rating in the good! I looked at it and thought “That looks like it’s in good condition!” And that’s what I had ordered!

Glad I found TB!
ThriftBooks had a good selection of an older author of parenting books. And they had some other books that caught my eye and because they weren’t too expensive, I was able to buy them and have enjoyed them very much. I.e. “I’m too young to be 70” . The only drawback was it took quite a while to receive the books. So I got to practice patience. I will definitely be ordering again from them when I look for my next read.

The Price Is Right!
With Thriftbooks, I think of the game show, "The Price Is Right." Money's tight and when it comes to getting the books I want, I don't care if those books have had a little loving used care. Sure I could pay more for a brand spanking new book but why pay more?
