About Us > Company Mission

Established in 1994, we were the first full service online bookstore for the independent school community in Ontario.

Our mandate is to provide exceptional service and goods at competitive prices.

This means we give you the best value for your dollar. All our reconditioned books are cleaned and inspected. You can trust that you will receive quality educational materials that meet school standards. Our prices are competitive, we ship promptly, and we’ll call you if there are any holds on your order. We also extend and enhance our services by offering book order consulting to schools, teachers, parents, students, and homeschoolers.

Our mission is to grow as a sustainable organization which participates in community initiatives and educational programs.

We strive for improved approaches to green programs and community outreach.  We look forward to expanding these programs and we are open to new opportunities.  You can see what we’ve been up to in our Community section.

Alpha Textbooks values: nature, knowledge and the development of the human mind and spirit. We strive to offer cost efficient products and services, helping both our company and our customers conserve. Conservation isn’t just about the environment. It’s about all resources, material and immaterial.

Explore. Empower. Achieve.
