Books shouldn’t cost the earth - and we mean that literally!
We offer an affordable, sustainable alternative for bookworms who want to save money and save the planet!
So how do we do it?
We buy books back from customers through World of Books - Sell Your Books, and buy bulk excess stock from charities (stock they're unable to sell) through World of Books Sell Your Books Pro. We then sell this to customers through World of Books meaning less waste, and more rehomed books!
Our Story
Our Story began in 2002, when a group of book-loving entrepreneurs stumbled upon a bag of books in a charity shop bin, destined for landfill. They rescued them on the spot, determined to give them a second life and World of Books was born.
