I am very unhappy with the order I placed. One of the books was certainly not in excellent condition yet you refuse to refund I will never buy from you again. I paid £8,84 for a book that was only fit to give to a charity shop. Disgusting, disappointing and very poor service.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment. We have looked into the photos you have sent and the books do sit within our Very Good condition category. Our books are used and will show signs of being read or thumbed through. You were offered on the 12th June, that you could return the book as it would be unwanted. We have not received your book in order to issue a refund. Many thanks, World of Books

Overall - pleased with the service and delivery of my first purchase. The second hand book is in good condition as described however the book jacket is torn and very worn - slightly disappointing. However, I would use World of Books for future purchases of out of print books.

Had previously ordered from World Of Books and was very satisfied with the price, speed of delivery and condition of books. So when I saw 3 books in a series which I was after I had no hesitation in ordering them. Two of the books arrived and were in brilliant condition. However, the 3rd, which had been purchased as being in 'very good' condition, simply was not. Inside the book had been stapled right through by the spine, making the book very difficult to open up fully enough to read comfortably. I have emailed twice in the last 2 weeks and I'm still waiting on a response. :(

Purchased VG Book but received the opposite! Contacted them by phone and was told World Of Books Do Not Inspect Books before shipping and was then instructed to email proof of photographs. I heard nothing back so i again contacted them to get a member of staff to look into it where i was given a refund. I shall not purchase from world of books again. I cant even pass the book along due to the horrible condition. Purchased it from another seller who indeed checks conditions to match description before shipping. Refund still pending but cant see it being a problem. A negative experience received unfortunately!

I have been trying for ages to complete my Dick Francis collection and accidentally found World of Books website. Not only did they have the three books I need but, to my utter astonishment, if I was happy to have Standard Delivery then delivery was free!!! The books have just arrived even though I only ordered them48 hours ago: the books may be of varying ages BUT they are all in good condition. As and when I want to buy any other second hand books I will definitely being using this firm again!!!!

I live in Chile and discovered the site just a couple months ago (I usually buy on The Bookdepository because international shipping is free), I buyed a lot and then was a little afraid of the time/quality, but when the everything started arriving i was surprised of the fantastic state of the books and the delivery time (a month aprox. wich is the average for the postal service here). I had one book a little more damaged than expected, but customer service was fast in offering a solution to my problem. I already buyed more :)

I ordered three books marked as 'very good'. One was an ex library copy marked as 20p in poor condition and with very loose pages. The other two were well read. I have contacted world of Books twice about this and I still haven't had a reply. I have previously bought through Amazon from them and very good meant just that. I have bought three books which do not meet their descriptions or guidelines for their descriptions.

I always use Worldofbooks.com to buy books on line. They have most titles and are a fraction of the cost of buying new as well as having free postage.
