Non-Profits
We work with hundreds of nonprofits, helping them raise more from donated books and reduce waste — turning unsold stock into funding for their cause.
Our Story
Since 2002, World of Books has been on a mission to offer an affordable, sustainable alternative for bookworms who want to save money and help the planet. We're your go-to place for buying and selling both pre-loved and new books — because we believe stories deserve second (and third, and fourth…) chapters. With millions of affordable, high-quality titles, we help people read more and waste less.
Our Purpose
We don't think a good book should be read once and forgotten. Every year, millions of books are thrown away — so we work to rescue them, find them new readers and keep them in circulation for as long as possible. The few that truly can't be resold are donated to good causes or responsibly recycled.
A proud Certified B Corp
As a proud Certified B Corp, we don't just talk the talk. We're working to become the world's most sustainable online bookstore — measuring success by the good we do for the planet, the people we support, and the stories we help keep alive.
Who we work with
We partner with thousands of nonprofits, thrift stores, libraries and booksellers across the US — helping them turn surplus and donated books into funding, while keeping books in circulation and out of landfill.
Thrift Stores
Thrift stores across the US partner with us to clear back-room space and turn donated books into extra revenue for their mission.
Booksellers
Booksellers turn slow-moving and surplus stock into income, with the tools to manage it across their whole team.
Libraries
Libraries weed their stock and donations to open up shelf space — and raise funds while they're at it.
