We consider these books to be unique, with its own history.

Extremely fast and accommodating to our large order. Perfect addition to my office tenant lounge and already have glowing reviews from our tenants. Thank you!!
High quality books with character. Love it. Fast shipping as well.
Not only were the books the same color but they were so interesting to look at and read. Love old books!!!
It took a while to receive, but the books were good quality. some of them were very strange titles. But I bought them for looks.
I ordered โvintage mixed colorsโ and I got a lot of great books for the price. However, I wish I had gotten more colorful books. 90% of them are dark brown, navy, or burgundy. I wish there was greater contrast in the books I received.

We get asked a lot, 'where do you get your books from?'
We have worked out exclusive partnerships with other booksellers & paper recyclers in the U.S.A.
Most people do not realize that all other booksellers destroy far more books then they can sell by selling them to recyclers or pulpers. (we won't name names ๐)
We are the last chance stop for these books, through our partnerships, we sift and sort through these books and pull out any and all of the books in good condition(you'd be surprised what people throw away).
They might be used books, but we sort for quality and look for books that are in great shape despite being previously loved.
When you buy from The Book Bundler, you are not only recycling, you are reducing waste, going green and saving beloved books from certain destruction.
That's how we are able to charge so little.
Saving money on books never felt so right.
