Good source for books
December 5, 2022

I love the feature of saving books to a wishlist. The prices are sometimes a little high but overall, really good.
The only issue is that if you save a book to a wishlist instead of purchasing it, there's no guarantee that they will get it back in stock.

Great book resource!
December 5, 2022

I was able to find a great collection of books for the kids on my Christmas list, at really, truly unbelievable prices. That meantI could stretch my budget further and there will be more books for the kids to discover under the tree this year. The shopping, purchase, and shipping experience was all clear, intuitive, straightforward. I would highly recommend to others.

Customer service
December 4, 2022

Great prices and great customer service. I couldn't follow the tracking number provided as it appeared invalid. One quick phone call and a very helpful rep found that my order had been sent through Canada Post and got my new tracking number for me quickly.

Amazing prices for quality books
December 3, 2022

We adore reading in our home, sometimes the library doesn't always have the best selection.
The selection here was huge and I can not believe the prices! I will always come here first for my books!

Impressive!
December 1, 2022

The condition of the book was excellent. There was however a slight dent on the hard cover edge, but it was likely due to how it was packaged. The was no filler to prevent it from moving around. I certainly however, will shop there again.

Simu Liu's We We're Dreamers
December 1, 2022

I purchased this book in multiple copies as gifts because it's a great read. Ordering the books and the delivery was very quick. The price was greatly discounted. The only thing I want to mention is that one of the paper covers of the book had dents at the bottom which is unfortunate.

Ordering, price, and delivery were all perfect.

However, two of the books I received were dirty and had tape on the covers.

From the business

The only thing better than a good book is a good book at half the price…or more. And that’s what we offer. All our books are brand new and discounted at least 50% off publishers’ list prices. Book Outlet is your haven, full of excess publishers’ inventory eagerly waiting to find their way into the hands of readers like you.

So go on, get lost in the pages of a great book and revel in the thrill of a good deal that awaits you every day.

WARNING: Bookworms have been known to lose track of time, neglect household chores, and cancel plans. Side effects may include an insatiable desire to read, an expanding TBR pile, and an occasional book hangover. Proceed with enthusiasm.
