About Us

Another Turn Used Books is a family-owned business that serves individuals, homeschoolers, educators, students, and non-profit organizations by specializing in the online selling of gently-used books, textbooks, and educational toys and aids. Our customers are important to us, so we concentrate on giving them quality, personalized service; and because we are veteran homeschoolers ourselves, we have dedicated a portion of our website to the compilation of resources that are meant to empower and uplift our fellow home educators and their children.

Another Turn Used Books LLC

Another Turn Used Books LLC was started by the husband-and-wife team of Samuel and Debra Polen, residents of Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania, who homeschooled their son Stephen for all thirteen years of his primary and secondary education (kindergarten through 12th grade).

Once Stephen finished high school, we had lots of educational material that could be reused, and we concluded there were others who needed help in reselling their items as well. We also have a long history of volunteering for non-profit organizations and found that raising money takes precious time away from their principal focus. We thought we could help both individuals and organizations and at the same time provide a small income for ourselves in these trying economic times.

Our desire is to provide quality, personalized customer service while specializing in a rich assortment of gently-used books, textbooks, and educational toys and aids for the benefit of avid readers, homeschoolers, teachers, and students.
