I highly recommend this company! Thank you everyone at Thryft! :)

"Adore the eco-friendliness of thrifting"

I really enjoy the process of hunting for both modern popular titles and old ones – even books I've once read in my childhood and I expected had faded into obscurity, but was overjoyed to find here. I adore the eco-friendliness of thrifting (including the packaging), and it saves a good bit of money getting books secondhand. I appreciate the summaries, book ratings and ease of use, and accurate book cover listings. Hope to see more books in your offerings!

"If I could give more than 5 stars for Thryft's overall awesomeness, I would"

Thryft has been a great resource for my little learning centre. The books span a very diverse range of genres and are extremely affordable, and arrive in great condition as well! If not for them, I wouldn't be able to offer my students the little library that they so enjoy. They love unpacking their new book deliveries with me. :)

Of note, I usually order the books online, and on my recent order I received exceptional customer service, particularly from their Customer Experience Specialist, Mina. All in all, if I could give more than 5 stars for Thryft's overall awesomeness, I would! Thanks, Thryft team!
