ThriftBooks is the world’s largest online, independent seller of used books, having sold more than 160 million used and new books since its inception.
Founded in Seattle in 2003 and backed by KCB Management, ThriftBooks operates multiple processing centers throughout the US that purchase, grade, and distribute used and rare/collectible books. ThriftBooks utilizes proprietary software to identify and list books, as well as a sophisticated pricing model that dynamically prices books across a variety of online platforms, including ThriftBooks.com, Amazon, eBay, and others.
Customers who shop at ThriftBooks.com can earn free books through the company’s loyalty program, ReadingRewards.
eCampus.com is an innovative leader in online bookstores, campus retail operations, and Inclusive and Equitable Access programs for K–12 and higher education institutions. Founded in 1999 by a group of visionary leaders, including Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas, eCampus.com pioneered online textbook sales and was the first to offer textbook rentals online. Today, we partner with more than 400 colleges, universities, and K–12 schools, serving over 3 million students each year. While traditional bookstore providers often rely on standardized, big-box models, eCampus.com takes a different approach. We combine the technology, fulfillment capabilities, and scale of a national provider with the flexibility and personalized support to build solutions around each institution rather than force institutions into a predetermined model. With affordability and institutional goals at the center of every partnership, our partners benefit from award-winning service and a level of customization and support that sets eCampus.com apart. Our mission remains constant: to set the industry standard for savings, selection, customization, and service, all in support of student success.
