You can save $5 off any book purchase of $15 or more using the promo code PRIMEBOOKS17. This deal, like many Amazon Prime Day deals, expires at 3 a.m. ET July 12.

This promo code only applies to books sold by Amazon—look for “sold by Amazon.com” before you add an item to your cart. This offer is not good for digital books and content, and it’s limited to one per customer.
