What discounts do you offer on paperbacks?

We offer discounts of up to 35% on every paperback book we carry, including popular titles such as Fahrenheit 451, The Great Gatsby, and Night.

Our base discount for all our books is 25%, so you'll never pay full retail price.

If the total retail value of all the items on your order is $500 or more, you'll receive a 30% discount on all your paperbacks.

And if the total retail value of your order is over $2,500, you'll save 35% on your paperbacks.

Plus, our Literary Touchstone Classics are always at least 50% off the retail price.

How do I use a school purchase order to buy from you?

To use a school purchase order during checkout, your billing address must be a valid school address.

You can use the handy "Find Schools" button on the checkout page to find your school by Zip Code*. Select your school's address, and you'll automatically be authorized to pay using a purchase order.

Once you've finished your purchase, fax us the purchase order at 888-718-9333 and we'll send you your items as soon as possible.
