The mural inside the Book Depot warehouse in Thorold, Ont., depicts a scene of wall-to-wall shelves and stacks of books so high they look as though they’re ready to topple. Painted by artist Tim Nijenhuis, the display is a tribute to Book Depot’s core purpose: “enchanting the mind.”
A key resource for families, schools, libraries, non-profits and independent and major retailers, Book Depot sells bargain books from its inventory of publishers’ yet-to-be-loved overstock at 75 to 90 per cent off their list prices, making its biggest direct competitor none other than Amazon itself. In fact, with its direct-to-consumer brands Book Outlet, Lillypost and Kidsbooks.com and its business-to-business operation, Book Depot offers one of the largest selections of bargain books on the wholesale market.
