Unlocking The Best Book Deals: Your Guide To October Prime Day Savings!

As a serious bookworm, I am approaching Prime Day Big Deal Days a bit like a big game hunter. I’m stalking sale pages, publishing houses’ socials, and taking other recs from fellow shoppers to grab the best October Prime Day book deals this fall.

As a multi-genre reader and purchaser of way too many books (you should see my shelves), I am well-versed in finding the best sales across all types of books. Coffee table books often get the biggest discounts for Prime Day. And oddly enough, mass market trade copies (like you’d see in an airport). The sales where you really need to be combing through discounts to find are in the biography and memoir genres, cookbooks, and manual guidebooks. Those are a bit more elusive, which also means they’re more fun for me to find for you. Trust me — all of the books on this list are hitting some of their lowest prices all year, ready for you to scoop up.

I’ll be updating this regularly, so watch this space!

All of the sales in this article have been checked and verified as of 10/09/24. The prices have remained consistent.
