About Better World Books

Better world books started off with a couple of fresh graduates selling off their piles of textbooks that they were tired of staring at. Started from a simple idea of using additional books efficiently – the company then had no plans to stop expanding. Better World Books takes its name very seriously, they are concerned about the environment and wasted books. These extra books are sold off or sent to libraries across the country. The proceeds are then used towards development and maintenance of libraries. Better World Books deals in books as well as textbooks, and donates them to literacy partners like Books for Africa, Room to Read and the National Center for Families and Learning.
