An ethical alternative to Am*z*on.

The BEST thing about WOB is that it offers a CHOICE from the global dominace of the monopoly of the worker-opressing and market-strangling Am*z*n (and its many 'zombie' markets - ones which were once independent but are now owned by B*z*s).
Aside from this - WOB provides a fine service with terrific choice, good quality books (and DVD's) and is simply very easy to use. Even nicer - WOB isn'rt supporting evil things - the money is going towards things which make the world better, not worse.
Thanks WOB for making the world better.

A good source for niche books

The series of books I am reading is rather niche so I was delighted to find them on your website. They were delivered quickly but the plastic packaging was ripped in transit so one of the books is lurking in a Royal Mail sorting office! Sturdier packaging would be appreciated.

Navigating the website can be tricky…

Navigating the website can be tricky but once you find what you are looking for it is more straight forward and once ordered correctly the purchase goes through smoothly.
Delivery and notifications are excellent. Books are mainly in very good condition.

WOB are absolutely brilliant

WOB are absolutely brilliant! Every book I've bought, at incredibly low prices, have been in excellent condition. I recently bought four after joining a book club and going through their list of reads. There was an offer to buy three get one free. I was surprised and delighted to receive two large hardbacks in my post free bundle for a total of £11! Long may WOB continue.

Amazing quality,price and delivery.

I have ordered the first and second season of agents of shield on bluray. I'm a massive marvel fan collecting all the movies/ TV shows available. So when I seen wob had them for sale at a great price I jumped at it but worried about what the condition would be. Well the condition said very good for both seasons but I have to say like new. Amazing condition and delivery was brilliant especially when it's free delivery to Ireland. Will be buying more and more blu rays off them again without question.

wob offer good value

wob offer good value and are very good with updates about orders and delivery. They are a welcome antidote the behemoth that is amazon. Their classifications of book condition are rather relaxed and about one notch worse than amazon's so you might need to lower your expectations a little on book condition. However, I have found them responsive when dealing with complaints.

There was a slight hiccup in delivery…

There was a slight hiccup in delivery but all was resolved successfully. I'm not a technophobe and did find dealing with BOT rather frustrating, but immediately a 'person' became involved all was resolved. More plusses in the long run and the wealth of books available makes up for any mishaps.

World of Books for endless bargains

World of Books is unique amongst all the other online booksellers in that you can grab genuine bargains. I have picked up some amazing titles for a few pounds from this website - titles that I would have to pay 15-20 for on similar used book sites or private sellers.

Go to place for a good book

Books received in very good condition at very low prices. Replacement book issued when one item found damaged in storage. So promise fulfilled .. Would order again with confidence.

My go to website for "read again" books!

It's rare that I can't find the book I am hunting for on the World of Books website, they have some quite unusual ones, authors I've not come across but have enjoyed each read. This book arrived in pristine condition and quite quickly as well. My go to website for "read again" books! Plus postage and packing is free and arrives very quickly too! I am glad I came across their website all those years ago! Be warned though you can get quite engrossed looking through their library of books and hours can pass by!!!!

Close to perfection.

Received item on time in good condition. The pre-used book described modestly as 'good' had the appearance of never having been held by human hands; absolutely perfect. Thank you WOB.

Highly Recommend

World of books is always reliable and good value. I have ordered loads of books from them. Once, when a book arrived damaged, they immediately refunded the cost. Highly recommend.

How dStill awaiting order

How did my recent order go?
I cannot give a positive review yet as it hasn't been received. I was advised on 7th September that my order is on its way but no further information ie Royal Mail has received your parcel followed.
When queried I was told to allow seven working days,
Still waiting.

Customer Support Non Existent

Buy 3 get 4th free offer did not apply discount. Emailed 3 times, and still no reply or refund for 4th book. When delivery arrived, one book missing, again, have sent emails querying and again no reply. Does not seem to be a link to raise complaint. Use WOB a lot and not had issues before so this is very surprising and they may have lost a long time customer who gives them a lot of business over a few pounds. The lack of customer service re no response to emails other than an auto reply saying in touch in 48 hours ( well past that from 1st email) is shockingly unprofessional and upsetting.

Good service

This book arrived a lot sooner than I was expecting, but it went through the letter box so that was ok!
I haven't started to read it yet, but it looks in good condition.
