When we spoke to Alibris almost a year ago to the day, the book marketplace had just launched on SHEIN with 100,000 titles. Now it has announced a partnership with Temu US that will make more than one million used books available on the platform.

CEO Anindo Dey, who was running the company from Vancouver at the time, told us he wanted to reach three million titles. “We’re a small company, but we have a platform,” he said.

The new deal got its own announcement. “We are thrilled to be working with Temu to bring a wide selection of books to a new audience,” said Rob Lambert, vice-president of global sales and marketing at Alibris. “We know that partnerships like this lead to growth for Alibris.”

Temu operates in more than 90 markets and also runs a Local Seller Program, under which eligible local businesses can sell from nearby warehouses and deliver locally. Craft and hobby titles are currently the most popular books on Temu, and Alibris carries those alongside fiction, textbooks and biographies.

The SHEIN partnership, which Alibris says made it the first company to provide books on that platform, was announced last year. Its other retail partners include Walmart, eBay and eCampus.

Alibris has been operating since 1998 and says it offers access to more than 250 million books from thousands of sellers worldwide, along with music and movies.
