I have found at last a book site that does what it says.
Excellent service and good quality books, arrived earlier than expected well wrapped and good condition.
I have nothing but praise for the WOB, what it says on the package is what you get,
Truthful, honest and trustworthy. What more can I say, oh yes the books are in Excellent condition too.
I loved how easy it was to get straight to what I was after. Very good price and top notch service all round. Thanks WOB, You are now my "Go to" bookshop!

Have used several times mainly for vintage books and have had no problems. Speedily dispatched, good condition and realistically priced. Website easy to use, even for dinosaurs!

The books I chose were ready reasonably priced & the delivery service very good. I would certainly use them again.
Thanks for your review :)
I ordered two books on Saturday 11th December and had received the books in great condition by Tuesday 14th. At a time when the media is full of complaints about delays in deliveries I think this demonstrates an excellent service. Fantastic!
Thanks for your review :)
This is the first place I go to when I wish to purchase books or dvds. Books for my grandson, dvds for me, books and dvds for all the family

Thanks for your review :)
First time ordering from World of Books and I am very impressed. The book was better than described ie. Advertised as good condition, however I would personally rate it as excellent! It arrived nicely packaged and in a timely manner. I will definitely be making future purchases from WoB as my experience with them is very positive.
Thanks for your review :)
I can highly recommend WoB. Always good value for money and good service. Also benefits the environment by reducing waste by recycling reading material
Thanks for your review :)
The book was received swiftly, in perfect condition. Packaging was cheap, and ethical. What more can you ask?
Thanks for your review :)
I always look on World of books first before buying a book form elsewhere. I love finding old books and really like the thought that someone else has had the same enjoyment from it as me.
Thanks for your review :)
It's not just a book company It's a company for learing people
Through books, quick fast and cheap.

Wob offers a massive selection of books/DvD's/CD's etc., and have never let me down since I started buying from them years ago.The quality of the books I receive is excellent, and my orders always reach me in very quick time.

Thanks for your review :)
I am always happy when i receive my order from Wob which i never have to wait long for and when i get my dvds they are always clean and unscratched and the prices are always amazing and the always have what i am looking for
Thanks for your review :)
The book arrived as expected, no delays. It's condition was as stated. About the book: I've read reviews complaining about units for measuring. At the end of a book is a wonderful and very detailed metric conversion chart. Furthermore, all the recipes have both F° and C° listed. I haven't tried anything yet but I will. Its a very complete book which I consider a must at this point.
Thanks for your review :)

Answer: We started in 2002 with a mission to find used books new homes. A lot has changed since then as we've expanded into new countries and new products, so we wanted a new name which reflects who we are now. Lots of our customers and fans have already shortened our name to Wob, so it made sense to choose this for our new name. For us, books will always be our first passion, but now we are so much more! By changing our name to Wob, we're keeping true to our heritage & changing for the future. Thanks for your feedback, we will pass it on to the Brand team. Thanks, Wob
