AbeBooks is focused on the health and safety of our employees, and based on regional regulations and social distancing requirements this has resulted in longer than usual response times from Customer Support. Please be patient.

If you have a specific question about an order, we recommend contacting the seller directly. This is often the fastest way to obtain order information. View instructions.

Due to Covid-19, delivery times may be longer than normal in your area. Learn more

I Forgot My Password

If you have forgotten your password, you will need to create a new one.

How to reset your password:

  • Go to the Password assistance page
  • Enter the required information and click Continue.
  • We’ll send you an email which will contain instructions for creating a new password.
  • Your email and password combination provide access to all AbeBooks websites.
  • Your new password is active as soon as you have created it.

A strong password is longer than 8 characters, contains random capitalization, numbers, and special characters, and is not easy to guess. Do not use dictionary words, your name, email address, or other personal information that can be easily obtained.

Please wait for the reset email to arrive – do not request a new reset email before receiving the first.

The reset link will expire if not used within an hour. If you click an expired link, you will be asked to begin the process again.

If you request a second password email before receiving the first, the link in the first email will not work.
