What is Trove?
Trove is a different kind of bookstore.
We’re an e-commerce startup offering readers brand-new, hardcover books at the lowest available prices, using an innovative model that blends rental and subscription options.
Oh, and we’re independent.
Here’s our value proposition — receive a new hardcover book at a lower price than anywhere else, even the big guys, with the option to return it or keep it and pay the full price.
How we work:
Better than your library.
We offer a unique solution to access the newest books.
Brand new books can be bought outright, like anywhere else. They also can be rented for 30 days at a reduced price. That means you can access a new hardcover book for the lowest possible price with the option to either return it within a month or keep it and pay the full price of the book.
Rental periods are 30 days for every book rented, with a maximum rental window of 90 days. So if you get three or more books, you have 90 days to return them.
Books that are not returned are charged the full retail price to consumers plus tax.
Why shop with Trove?
We offer the lowest prices for newly released books.
We noticed that new books are crazy expensive — so we decided to sell them at the lowest price possible.
Our mission is to make reading newly released books easier to access and more affordable to read than anywhere else.
We want to give a new way for readers to engage with new books.
Trove seeks to revolutionize how readers engage with new releases — while also making book buying more affordable and accessible.
We’re brand new, so feel free to provide us with feedback on how we can do better.
