What is Trove?
Trove is a different kind of bookstore.
We’re an online bookstore offering readers the most affordable way to get physical books in their hands.
Oh, and we’re independent.
Here’s our value proposition — receive a new 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.
Why rent with Trove?
We want to give readers a new way to read books.
Trove seeks to revolutionize how readers engage with new releases — while also making book buying more affordable and accessible.
We believe book rentals are the next big thing.
What sets Trove apart
Rental Options
Trove offers something libraries and independent bookstores cannot — new books at an affordable price.
A Better Bookstore
Trove and other independent bookstores often sell books at the price listed in the inside flap. We feel we can do better.
Not a Library
Trove loves that local libraries are free and agrees they are wonderful places. But they often lack new, physical books.
More books is better
Each rental book can be kept for 30 days, two rentals for 60 days, and three or more for 90 days.
You can choose to either return it within the rental period, or keep it and pay the full price of the book.¹
Our shipping guarantee
We love using USPS. Some titles aren't sitting on our DC shelves yet — we can source them directly through our publisher distributor network, offering a larger book selection than what's physically on hand. Thanks to USPS, these books are shipped to you quickly in within about a week.
If it takes USPS longer than 10 business days to complete your order, Trove will cover your shipping costs. No questions asked.
¹Books that are not returned by the due date are charged the full retail price to consumers plus sales tax.
