Target is kicking off a great book deal for Target Circle members. Right now you can buy one book and get a second one for 50% off. Just about every book (all 390,000 of them) is eligible. The Target Circle membership is free to sign up, so everyone can partake in this deal. You’ll get free shipping if your order is over $35, or you can choose in-store pickup. Just add two eligible books to your shopping cart, and the discount should be automatically applied during checkout.
BOGO 50% Off Tolkien Books
Tokein’s well-known classics like The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are on sale and there are a myriad of editions from which to choose. The Illustrated Editions are special hardcover books that include all of the original text, fully corrected and reset, as well as color illustrations, maps, and sketches often drawn by Tolkein himself. The Deluxe Editions go even further with handsomely bound covers and high-quality slipcase packaging deserving of display. Stick with the paperback box sets if all you want is the entire collection at your fingertips, but hardcore fans and collectors should consider splurging on the well-crafted editions.
BOGO 50% Off Harry Potter Books
The easiest way to get ahold of all seven books in the core Harry Potter series is by getting the boxed set, which is part of the BOGO 50% off sale. If you want something more polished, though, The Harry Potter Illustrated Edition Hardcover books are the nicest physical Harry Potter books you can get your hands on. These aren’t just “regular’ hardcovers with only a few sparing pages of art; instead, each book is replete with numerous full-color illustrations. Currently only five of the books have illustrated editions: Book 1 (Sorceror of Stone), Book 2 (Chamber of Secrets), Book 3 (Prisoner of Azkaban), and Book 4 (The Goblet of Fire), and very recently, Book 5 (Order of the Pheonix).
BOGO 50% Off Popular Book Series
There are a countless number of popular books that make up this sale, but some of our favorite complete series include A Game of Thrones, the Dune Saga, Percy Jackson, Hunger Games, and Chronicles of Narnia. Both hardcover and paperback editions are available for several sets. If you’re only looking to read specific books instead of the complete series, individual books also qualify for the promotion. Many of these sets are already discounted by 40% off or more, so the stackable BOGO 50% off savings is just icing on the cake.
BOGO 50% Off Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels
Most graphic novels also qualify for the BOGO 50% off sale. Now is a great time to score some great deals on very popular comics (The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Collection, TMNT: The Last Ronin) and manga (Uzumaki or Chainsaw Man). If you’ve been recently watching anime and can’t wait for upcoming seasons, you can usually advance much farther ahead in the story by reading from the source material instead.
If Target doesn’t have something you want, there are plenty of other reputable vendors that carry a broad selection of books. Some of our favorite online book sellers include juggernauts like Amazon and Barnes and Nobles as well as some other lesser known retailers like Bookshop.org, ThriftBooks, and Better World Books.
