Bookspan LLC is a New York-based online book seller, founded in 2000.
Bookspan began as a joint endeavor by Bertelsmann and Time Warner. Bertelsmann took over control in 2007, and a year later, sold its interest to Najafi Companies, an Arizona investment firm. Najafi held its ownership in a subsidiary named Direct Brands, which also held Najafi's ownership in the Columbia House record club. In 2013, Najafi sold its interest in Direct Brands to Pride Tree Holdings, a New York-based media and consumer technology holding company founded in 2012 and incorporated in Delaware.

- The Literary Guild
- Doubleday Book Club
- Mystery Guild
- History Book Club
