Very impressed by the fast delivery , my book which was pre owned arrived in great condition and all pages ( 790 ) of them all perfect considering the book was printed in 1990, I won't hesitate to order again and let my book loving friends in on my Aladin's cave of World Of Books.

Should have ordered all three books from World of Books but one looked a bargain and condition description 'looked' good. It wasn't!!! Ordered from WOB, book arrived very quickly and description of condition was spot on, very good. Unfortunately the postal service did cause a few cover corners to be slightly damaged. Perhaps a lightweight cardboard C channel cover would help?

Hmm mixed views about this company. I ordered 7 Walt Disney dvd discs from World of Books on 31st March 2019. This is my first order with them. It is now 13th April and I have only received 3 out of the 7 discs I ordered. I emailed them last week to be told that their items are located in warehouses in different parts of the United Kingdom. Nearly 2 weeks for delivery and I still have not received the full order. Very poor service.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We can see your DVDs were posted without issue and can provide you with tracking, it looks like one parcel is still waiting for you at your DElivery Office. https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/tracking-results/0B061729000101389EF71 https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/tracking-results/0B061729000101389EF87 Many thanks, World of Books

Hi, The first book I ordered got lost in the mail. But after discussing it with World of Books staff they were very supportive and understanding. They gave me two options either a refund or another book. Since the book I ordered did not have copies, I had to wait for a copy to be available. As soon as a replacement copy was available The World of Books staff quickly shipped it for me. Within two weeks the book arrived. It was in great condition. Thank you The World of Books staff ! I highly recommend this store...!

Purchased 9 books described as in "very good" condition. Received dirty, torn, food and drink stained books some of which were ex-library and another the wrong book entirely; one of them even seemed wet. Contacted World of Books with details and photographs, they responded asking for "just two" photographs showing the condition. Sent the photographs and they responded saying that they would only refund one of the books, but I could return the others, paying the delivery costs, (which exceeds the cost of the books). Have contacted them multiple times since and have just been completely ignored.

Hello, we ask for photos so we can launch an investigation into the condition of the items. On this occasion we agree that one of the books should not have been sent out to you. So we offered an alternative or a refund for you. The others we feel met our condition guidelines and offered you our returns procedure. We are sorry for any disappointment caused. Many thanks, World of Books

Great service - when looking for a book I always look at world of books first. They usually have it, in varying conditions which are honestly and accurately described, from new to used. So far, my orders have each time arrived ahead of the estimated delivery date, another big plus as I am an avid reader and very much look forward to reading my latest choice.

I've made several purchases from and I've found all of them to be reasonably priced, swift to arrive and the item has always been in good condition. I think the site is by far one of the most impressive I've ever used and I'm so glad to have discovered it. Keep up the good work!

I purchased two DVDs over three weeks ago now and still nothing has been received. I have sent an email to customer services and to date no reply which is awful customer service. I wanted these DVDs so I can watch them before the final film comes out at the end of this month. I would not recommend this company to any of my friends and family. You need to sort this out as a company not very professional. Do not order anything from them please.

The book ‘The Stallions Of Woodstock’ arrived but all the inside pages were covered in dried mud. I was so disappointed. Doesn’t anyone check the cleanliness of the book before shipping?

Books listed as very good condition, I was very disappointed. Stained pages, covers a mess. Ordered paperbacks one arrived as hardback. All I can say is they arrived very quickly, but I won’t be ordering anymore.

This is a lovely company. Books are very reasonably priced, an excellent source of something which might be out of print. They arrive quickly.......unlike a book which I ordered from another well-known company......which failed to arrive and there was nothing to be done, as I was buying from a third party. I cannot understand those who give it one star ....... by definition, if you are buying used books, you might possibly be disappointed. Customer services are always available, friendly and will put it right. I once ordered a book which didn't turn up....... it was replaced without question. After some time another copy arrived so the original had been lost in the postal system somewhere, as sometimes happens. I have never been disappointed and frequently shop here.
