About Bookstores.com

Who We Are.

We started out from humble beginnings in Columbus, Ohio, and we're still here. Although these days we are packing and shipping millions rather than thousands of titles each year. We've grown by offering a great service to each and every customer, wherever they are in the world. That's what makes us proud.

Hi, I'm Phil.

I guess you’d say Bookstores.com is my company. But it’s yours really. When I started buying books and running a couple of stores more than two decades ago, it was the people that mattered – my customers and my staff. Now we buy and sell online. But I don’t think that should make any difference. It’s still about personal service.

We’re proud to deliver you what you want, when you want it. We treat every order like it’s special. Because it is. It’s your order.
