Easy and affordable!

The website is very easy to use and the price is unbeatable! I've ordered about 30 books so far and they always come close to perfect or close to perfect condition and delivery is always quick and easy.

A huge surprise!
January 8, 2023

My son is a book worm and he doesn't like libraries. When I found bookoutlet.ca website I was sure that there is no chance I will receive new books for such a low price. Compared to amazon, Walmart, Costco and decided to give it a chance. Totally new books!
I am really happy and will continue buying books there.
The only issue is that you don't see first pages of books, so in order to understand if the font is big enough or if/how books are illustrated you have to google the book or go to amazon/indigo to know what is inside.

Recent order of 4 books
January 6, 2023

Ordering on-line from Book Outlet is so easy and convenient. The order was delivered on the promised date. Unfortunately, one of the books had damage on both the front and back covers.

Amazing results
January 6, 2023

I was amazed at how effortless this book buying experience was. The prices are what drew me to the site but it was expedited service was the clincher. I will have problem recommending Book Outlet.

Pure Colour
January 6, 2023

This book was exactly what the doctor ordered. It was a beautiful, metaphorical, almost religious experience. It was rich with imagery and dripping with imagination.

Carlos Castaneda
January 6, 2023

Ordered 3 books from Carlos Castaneda at great prices. The deliver took a bit longer because I ordered just after Christmas so to be expected with the holidays. This is my go-to site for books but they don't always have what I'm looking for.

Fast Service, Quality Products
January 6, 2023

I'm definitely happy to have discovered BookOutlet.ca, the selection online was more than i expected, everything ordered was in great condition when I received my shipment, and delivery was fast and easy to track. I've given myself a personal reading challenge of finishing 52 books in 2023, and this will help me complete my goal. I will keep checking back to see what new books are added!

First time buyer
January 6, 2023

I could not find the book I wanted in stock anywhere, even Amazon. I finally found it here and for less than half the price! And it arrived sooner than I thought! Very satisfied!

Goor prices.
January 6, 2023

Lots to choose from with very reasonable prices. I have lots of books I still need to read but I often get drawn in again with a great sale, or a certain book I want at a great price.

The Backward Book
January 6, 2023

The hard cover book had a beautiful cover but, when I opened the book it was upside down + back to front. Decided to keep it, though it was unusual.

Overall very happy.
January 6, 2023

Was extremely happy with what we selected and the great condition they came in. Only downfall is one of the books said after the fact it was sold out. So we only knew a couple days before it shipped.

Poor Packaging
January 5, 2023

My order came in within a week of ordering and was in good condition. However, the packaging was poorly done. It was open and my product could've been damaged from the poorly handled packaging.

Absolutely phenomenal!
January 5, 2023

I'm SO glad and happy and utterly DELIGHTED that I stumbled upon this site (thank you@ that one girl on TikTok). As a person who loves to read but doesn't always have the money to purchase books because omg books are expensive in Canada, BookOutlet is a total gem! The selection is great and the site is easy enough to use. The customer service is also so lovely. I've received all my orders on time and in considerably good condition. I really love this site and I can't wait to order more books in the future! (My poor wallet ahaha.)

From the business

The only thing better than a good book is a good book at half the price…or more. And that’s what we offer. All our books are brand new and discounted at least 50% off publishers’ list prices. Book Outlet is your haven, full of excess publishers’ inventory eagerly waiting to find their way into the hands of readers like you.

So go on, get lost in the pages of a great book and revel in the thrill of a good deal that awaits you every day.

WARNING: Bookworms have been known to lose track of time, neglect household chores, and cancel plans. Side effects may include an insatiable desire to read, an expanding TBR pile, and an occasional book hangover. Proceed with enthusiasm.
