15% Off Literature and Fiction

For a good portion of September, Thrift Books is offering all books in our Literature & Fiction category at 15% off, if you use the code LITFIC at checkout.

Our Back to School discount ended at the end of August, but it wasn't lost on us that we could serve some of those returning students into September by offering a discount on ALL the used books in one of our largest categories.

At first, I didn't want anything to do with posthumous attempts to cash in on the success of the Millennium "trilogy," but it turns out to be much more than that.
