I was searching an American book not sold in German, and found this:

Every time you purchase a book from BetterWorldBooks.com, you help us donate books to people that need it. The books we donate go through hundreds of non-profit organizations.

I saw some people on Reddit confirming that it works, but I'd like to ask here. Has anyone here used this site to buy a used book from abroad? The idea is interesting, but free shipping?

@barcode good luck! I forgot to mention #betterworldbooks https://www.betterworldbooks.com/go/mission

I'd love to see an app that rates used book sales at libraries....

When we receive books that can't be sent to prisoners, we do our best to rehome them. Many are sent to Better World Books, which gives us credit when the books are sold. Since 2009, we have received (and used) over $3,000 in credit from BWB, allowing us to get some much-needed books on odd subjects.

If you shop at BWB, there's a chance (albeit a very slim one) that one of the books you purchase will have come from us. Check it out!

Here’s One Goshen Dad’s Tribute
to Fathers Everywhere

#Father music video was contributed by Goshen-area musician and father, #IdrisBusari. The song, titled “Father,” was filmed around the #MapleCity with the help of some #downtownGoshen businesses including Gateway Cellar Winery and #betterworldbooks

According to Busari, the song and video are a celebration of #fatherhood and #Goshen, the city where Busari is raising his own #children

I was also very sad to discover this the other day. The other two I know with free international shipping are #Wordery and #BetterWorldBooks. I've tried out each of them once now, Wordery succeeded without issue, but BetterWorldBooks was a failure as it turned out they had sold me something no longer in stock. Trying out Wob.com next, and both Alibris and eBay can be good sources of second hand books.

Anybody know of any others??

I recently started using https://www.betterworldbooks.com I have found it to be very good. I can buy cheap used books (mainly they have been used library books - in good shape).

For every book sold on Better World Books, they donate a book to someone in need. They have donated tens of millions of books so far.

I can often buy the books for under $5 (they [often/always?] offer discounts for 5+ books) with free shipping. They have a very large selection of #books
