The book ‘The Stallions Of Woodstock’ arrived but all the inside pages were covered in dried mud. I was so disappointed. Doesn’t anyone check the cleanliness of the book before shipping?

Books listed as very good condition, I was very disappointed. Stained pages, covers a mess. Ordered paperbacks one arrived as hardback. All I can say is they arrived very quickly, but I won’t be ordering anymore.

This is a lovely company. Books are very reasonably priced, an excellent source of something which might be out of print. They arrive quickly.......unlike a book which I ordered from another well-known company......which failed to arrive and there was nothing to be done, as I was buying from a third party. I cannot understand those who give it one star ....... by definition, if you are buying used books, you might possibly be disappointed. Customer services are always available, friendly and will put it right. I once ordered a book which didn't turn up....... it was replaced without question. After some time another copy arrived so the original had been lost in the postal system somewhere, as sometimes happens. I have never been disappointed and frequently shop here.

Went to buy Willkommen 2 German Intermediate course Website picture of second hand book and said CD and DVD also included. Just got the CD and DVD. I went to world of books because I wanted a book not CD and DVD. Spoke to customer services lady, so I can return at my cost. asked if they did the book I wanted and was pointed out to a mislabeled Willkommen 2 book. I told her that this looked like a second edition of the first course book. Not the 2 intermediate course. So someone else is going to be mislead She said she could do nothing about this.

Hello, Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear this. We have found the same item on Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Willkommen-German-Intermediate-course-DVD/dp/1444165232/ref=tmm_abk_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= It does state that item is "Willkommen! 2 Intermediate course is a brand new multi-format German adult learning programme for classroom and home use. This listing is for the CD and DVD set. Also available is a coursebook, course pack and activity book" Sadly we do not have the book you are after in our stock, we only had the CD and DVD set of which you ordered. As the item is unwanted you would need to return it for a full refund. Once received, we will of course refund you in full. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused. Many thanks, World of Books

The book I book for my son was supposed to be in very good condition. On arrival some of the pages of the books were broken. I tried to contact the customer service, but no reply. Awful customer service.

Very Poor Service Item purchased was a 2nd hand DVD box set. The item description stated "Very Good Condition". The item received was NOT so. The item came with sellotape holding the box together, x3 dvd cases were all broken and not holding together with each sleeve torn and punctured. I would describe, "Poor Condition". I contacted World of Books, but have still not received any response to date, even though my email was read as I have received the read receipt. Tried calling this company and no one picks up the phone. Was on the phone for over 10 minutes and nothing!!! Very Very Poor Company!!!!!! Be very careful as this company have very poor after sales and frankly, customer relations is very poor together with their items. I would certainly not recommend this company for any to use!!!

I found this way of buying second hand, hard to find books quite by accident and have used them several times since. I have found them efficient and helpful and would recommend them to anyone. Their prices are reasonable
