Website easy to navigate to find books of interest to me. Excellent, prompt service. Good fair pricing. Prompt delivery. I have recommended World of Books to my friends and family.

I received the 2 John Grisham books as ordered, it was disappointing that both books had quite a number of pages (around 90) that appeared to be water damaged and many more pages with corners folded down, however still good reading. I do wish that people would use bookmarks. Thank you for sending the books to me.

I had never heard of this website before, but now I have, I'll be ordering again in the near future. Easy to order (although had to try a few times to get the order to be initially accepted), delivery was swift and the quality of the books were overall what was stated.

I had never heard of this company until I was searching for a particular book. This company had it and the price was quoted in Australian dollars. There was no charge for postage. I ordered the book. It arrived in less than a week and the package it arrived in was superb. I could not fault anything from start to finish. the book quality was excellent. The one slightly confusing thing unrelated to the order was that I received an email from query the UK outlet of the companywith book prices in UK pounds and a different mailing arrangement.

I am very unhappy with the order I placed. One of the books was certainly not in excellent condition yet you refuse to refund I will never buy from you again. I paid £8,84 for a book that was only fit to give to a charity shop. Disgusting, disappointing and very poor service.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment. We have looked into the photos you have sent and the books do sit within our Very Good condition category. Our books are used and will show signs of being read or thumbed through. You were offered on the 12th June, that you could return the book as it would be unwanted. We have not received your book in order to issue a refund. Many thanks, World of Books

Overall - pleased with the service and delivery of my first purchase. The second hand book is in good condition as described however the book jacket is torn and very worn - slightly disappointing. However, I would use World of Books for future purchases of out of print books.

Had previously ordered from World Of Books and was very satisfied with the price, speed of delivery and condition of books. So when I saw 3 books in a series which I was after I had no hesitation in ordering them. Two of the books arrived and were in brilliant condition. However, the 3rd, which had been purchased as being in 'very good' condition, simply was not. Inside the book had been stapled right through by the spine, making the book very difficult to open up fully enough to read comfortably. I have emailed twice in the last 2 weeks and I'm still waiting on a response. :(

Purchased VG Book but received the opposite! Contacted them by phone and was told World Of Books Do Not Inspect Books before shipping and was then instructed to email proof of photographs. I heard nothing back so i again contacted them to get a member of staff to look into it where i was given a refund. I shall not purchase from world of books again. I cant even pass the book along due to the horrible condition. Purchased it from another seller who indeed checks conditions to match description before shipping. Refund still pending but cant see it being a problem. A negative experience received unfortunately!
