Better World BooksReviews 2,090

A 100% customer-centric small business that's actually still a small business, and who actually cares about its employees and the world it thrives in. The books and shipping end up being cheaper overall (that's right - even with Prime!), and the entire experience, including customer, service is warm and personable. Cherry on top: you can typically find older editions of hardcover, trade, and mass market editions - still in great condition! Highly recommended.

My beloved new/used book, Fastest Things on Wings: Rescuing Hummingbirds in Hollywood arrived within a few days after ordering in perfect condition... I think the listing said "very good" it could pass for new:-)

And as a teacher I really feel good about being able to support a business that helps fund literacy programs!

Three books (purchased 8th March 2021) received promptly. All in good condition. This is one of the companies I use regularly and the service is excellent. Thank you. David G. Mills.

Ordered a book - as it indicated it was LARGE print. I received a regular print. They responded quickly and here is their reply: "I am sorry that the item did not arrive in the format that you were expecting. Unfortunately, it was not listed accurately. We realize that this was not your mistake, however, I am afraid we cannot exchange it. I have gone ahead and issued you a full refund for this item. Your account should be credited within the next few business days. There is no need to return it to us. You may enjoy it yourself, or you may wish to donate it to a local organization in need. We hope you can recycle it otherwise. Again I'm very sorry about this error. Please be sure to let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns."
When I called customer service - they indicated same and that they did not have a Large Print that I could order. I will give them another try. Everyone deserves a second chance. But they NEED to list their offerings accurately.

I was interested in a book mentioned by an online friend, and bought a hardcover copy from Better World books cheaper than Kindle.

The service from BWB is amazing as always. My sons and I look forward to our shipment each time! TY!

Got exactly what I wanted, postage cheaper than a similar book sent from here and a very funny message

Excellent service, especially when it comes to the price, ordering the item & posting. The book I received was in excellent condition, so I would highly recommend this website.

I switched from purchasing books on amazon to betterworld books because I want to make a better impact on the environment, and love being able to buy used books easily. I really appreciate that this company does the carbon offset and also donates books!

Very easy order process and quick delivery. And I would definitely consider them again when looking for books.

Would rather buy used books anyway; this site lets me do that little bit of good for the environment, and it also donates books, in addition to having great prices, selection, and shipping. Well done so far, no issues.

The book was in very good condition, as stated. I do recommend to package books only in non-plastic material, please.

Thought it was too good to be true, but the site was easy to use, the delivery was quick (even in a pandemic?!), and the books are great quality. Already planning my next order!

Great site with lots of selection. I received my new books very quickly, while the used books came shortly after. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it keeps the out of stock books showing in the available list.

There's a reason this company is called, Better Books. They are better than that big online seller because they actually care. Not only was my order handled smoothly, but they followed up with a clever shipping notice the following day. Love their wit and the timely mannerly with which I received my books.
They also reward points for your purchases, or referrals, and offer discounts ranging from 15% - 30% depending on the number of books you buy from the Bargain Bin. Best of all, they accept books for donation at drop boxes and give back to others in grants, special projects, and literacy partners such as books for Africa. Love these guys!
