This company is NOT a Charity. Their REAL goal is to get college students and other people to donate their used textbooks and other books so they can resell them FOR THEIR OWN PROFIT. They may send a few books to some foreign countries, but it by no means the nicest books they collect --just what they don't need for themselves because the books are outdated or not in demand, etc..

It would be better to donate books to a booksale raising money for a worthy cause than to donate to Better World Books. The collection bins are extremely misleading... the books students put in there are being used as a collection bin to get things to sell on ebay, amazon, abebooks, etc. for FOR PROFIT BUSINESS. Same with THRIFT BOOKS or the READING TREE BINS. Just because something says "DONATE" on it, does NOT mean your donation is going to a charity.
