What the Newegg/Valore Books Partnership Means to You

In a nutshell, now Newegg.com has added Newegg Books to its product offerings. Their enormous customer-base now has access to our extensive catalog of textbooks for sale. We are more than excited for their customers to join in and save hundreds (and even thousands) of dollars on textbooks.

Our partnership with Newegg will help us to massively increase our visibility in the online textbook marketplace. It will also help us to continually offer low pricing on textbooks for sale at savings of up to 90% off retail. This means more cash in students’ pockets!
