Discounted book site

mell61

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything about this site, so I thought I'd leave a note about it.
I've used Bookcloseouts.com on a couple of occasions to buy discounted books, and been happy with the results. They seem to be a clearing house for end of line books for a number of retailers, and there are some great bargains to be had. So you might not find all 3 part of a trilogy on sale buy might find one of them down from $15 to $5... There is also a section called 'scratch and dent' which are slightly marked stock, so far I've gotten books that had the sticky stuff from a price tag as the only mark, or some with small damage on the cover....
Its always worth googling the company name plus 'coupon', as I've gotten $5 discounts each time I've purchased!

At the moment they have a Dollar for Dollar promotion on, where for every dollar you spend you can get a 'free' book for the equivalent value (from a defined list), so if you spend $20 on a couple of books, you can choose $20 of books from the free list.

They do post to Ireland, and the only cavaet I have is that the 1 week suggested for posting to Ireland by priority has normally been nearer to 2 weeks. I have on 1 occasion been asked to confirm my credit card details, as I changed the shipping address, but for the most part its run like clockwork.

I've no connection with the company, I'm just a happy customer.

The prices seem ok but the shipping is mad, it costs more than the books themselves almost!

I thought the same first time I booked, but picking the same books from amazon.com the actual shipping costs were pretty similar (but in saying that I use amazon.de for best value shipping).
Well I just ordered 19 books for a total of $80 (cost plus shipping), most of which average at €10 each on other sites, so i've felt that its worth it.

I just got the mail below for some January discounts, so please use and enjoy!

good website alright but the shipping costs are very high, basically means ur order is double the price you thought it would be(i.e $55 worth of books is about $110 shipped)

Also are you not asked to fax through a copy of ur creditcard for first order? not exactly vrey safe.

Books often priced cheaper than Amazon, but with free postage, these are always the cheapest total cost book retailer.

Very good range too. Highly recommended.

I still find 'Reads' one of the best and cheapest places to buy books. Steve Gerrard book was only €6-€7 a few weeks ago and its £12.91 on that site. Also get the latest books for €10 sometimes even under as i got a martina cole book for mother for xmas for €7-8.
