If you’ve been putting off checking out your cart at Amazon during the surprisingly long four-day Prime Day sale, now’s the time. Today is your last chance to shop the sale. While a little bit (or a lotta bit) of everything is on sale, Amazon is still a bookstore at heart. And as such, you can find Prime Day deals on books of all kinds. Read on to see the best ways to save on the most popular books.
Prime Day Book Deals
As you can probably see, there are lots of different kinds of books out there, and pretty much all of them are represented in these Prime Day deals. We’ve got deep discounts on comic books, sci-fi books, fantasy books, kid’s books, book club books, literary bestsellers, and more. There's even a bit of the LitRPG genre represented here.
Buy 2, Get 1 Free Sale
Arguably, the best book deal available now doesn’t even require a Prime membership. It’s this “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” deal, which has all sorts of bestsellers in it, including Sunrise on the Reaping (the latest Hunger Games novel), Atmosphere (the latest Taylor Jenkins Reid joint), and Project Hail Mary (the movie version of which recently got its first trailer). This sale includes lots of box set collections, and it isn’t limited just to books, either. You can mix and match movies, music, and more to find three items to add to your cart. My main piece of advice here is to make all three of your selections close together in price, because it's the cheapest one that will be free at checkout.
J.R.R. Tolkien Prime Day Book Deals
The book industry has been pumping out editions of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and more Middle-earth tomes for decades now. The current most popular editions, however, are the gorgeous hardcover line that’s “illustrated by the author.” As J.R.R. Tolkien was writing his fantasy epics, he sketched and painted scenes and maps of his fictional world. These high-quality hardcovers have his full-color illustrations throughout. They also look terrific on any bookshelf.
Comic Prime Day Deals
One of the most popular types of books among our readers are comic books. As luck would have it, a bunch of them are on sale now at Amazon for Prime Day. Among them are some of the most popular titles in the industry, ranging from Invincible and The Walking Dead to TMNT: The Last Ronin and Calvin and Hobbes.
