AbeBooks Coupon Codes AbeBooks is an e-commerce global online marketplace with seven national domains that offers Books, Fine Art, and Collectibles from sellers in 50+ countries. AbeBooks works by bringing together thousands of independent bookstores from around the world and providing a range of services that are usually only available to large corporations. Buyers who visit AbeBooks do not see a single corporate book retailer- instead they see a network of independent booksellers, the vast majority of which are owner-operated, small businesses. Booksellers upload their inventory data to the AbeBooks database, specifying information about each book including condition and price.
