Bookspan LLC is a New York-based online book seller, founded in 2000.[3]


Bookspan began as a joint endeavor by Bertelsmann and Time Warner.[2] Bertelsmann took over control in 2007, and a year later, sold its interest to Najafi Companies, an Arizona investment firm.[2] Najafi held its ownership in a subsidiary named Direct Brands, which also held Najafi's ownership in the Columbia House record club.[3] In 2013, Najafi sold its interest in Direct Brands to Pride Tree Holdings,[2][4] a New York-based media and consumer technology holding company founded in 2012 and incorporated in Delaware.[5][6]


Bookspan operates a number of discount book purchasing programs. As of 2017, the programs include:
