I am a retired special education teacher with a love of reading. I live in Chesterfield, on the edge of the Peak District and am at my happiest sitting in the shelter of a drystone wallI, with a flask of tea, with a new book to read. I have bought books and DVDs from WOB and have found their service second to none. Apart from their ability to redistribute these items, giving them a second (or third) life, which is something we should all embrace, but the variety and choice is fantastic. And as they are so affordable, it has allowed me to investigate unfamiliar genres and authors, without the fear of wasting money.
Just started on Robert Macfarland's "Landmarks", which is so far enchanting, and have finished Roger Deakin's "Waterlogged", which is a book I came upon by chance, on WOB and is a fascinating essay exploring the English love of open water. This, along with my continued exploration of 20th century British poetry, has me down as a now regular customer, and enthusiastic acolyte of WOB.

Excellent value, great service in a world where books have somehow become so devalued they are treated like old tabloid newspapers - though unsuitable for lining the cat tray.

Very best for your good work, Wob.

The order came very quickly and the packaging was fine. Of the 4 books, only 2 were in ' like new ' condition. The other 2 were very good and good. This is an old problem with WOB, but means a buyer cannot rely on their description of a books condition.

I ordered a language learning course that should have contained 6 CDs but only contained the 3 relating to the 2nd part of the course. I have contacted WOB twice to rectify but have had zero response. Customer service was similarly awful last time I had a problem (they sent me the wrong books). Hoping this review actually gets their attention (order number is WGB-*******3613)

Have used WoB now for over two years, at least three times per month, and I was never disappointed, not once!

Ordered a popular cookery book & thought it may be marked from kitchen use but it was in lovely condition & even had post-it notes added from a previous owner. Such a good company.

Always delighted with the service from World of Books. Communication great and after sales service excellent. Always my first stop when looking for something in particular.

Question - Why would I buy books from anywhere else?
Answer - I wouldn't.
Good prices, first class information and rapid delivery.
The complete deal.

Me encanta WOB. Tienen el catálogo más extenso que puedes imaginar. Siempre tratan con mimo tus futuros libros.
Gracias!

The book I ordered has arrived at last, I think it' was because of the Easter holidays
Anyway, it's here now and in new condition I'm very pleased to have received it

Great products at brilliant prices with quick, free and efficient service and delivery. I have use WOB repeatedly and haven't one complaint.

Orders dealt with quickly. Usually received within 3/4 days. All the books I have ordered are good quality. Very pleased with the service.

Packaging was damaged in this instance, which led to the spine of one of the books being damaged, not excessively, but disappointingly

Great price, quick delivery, straightforward payment, excellent product, good range of choices, more.

The book was a very good price and delivered quickly but unfortunately, the usual very thin plastic packing meant one corner got damaged. It is a great shame that WOB's otherwise excellent service is let down in this way. I would be prepared to pay more for better packaging.

Excellent hassle-free quick transaction thank you Excellent hassle-free quick transaction thank you!

Keep it up.
