Charities
We work with hundreds of charities and their shops across the UK — helping them raise more from donated books.
Our Story
Since 2002, World of Books has been on a mission to offer an affordable, sustainable alternative for bookworms who want to save money and help the planet. We're your go-to place for buying and selling both pre-loved and new books — because we believe stories deserve second (and third, and fourth…) chances. With millions of affordable, high-quality titles, we help people read more and waste less.
Our Purpose
We don't think a good story should be read once and forgotten. Every year, millions of books are thrown away — so we work to rescue them, find them new readers and keep them in circulation for as long as possible. The few that truly can't be resold are donated to good causes or responsibly recycled.
It's a simple belief — books deserve a second, third and fourth chapter — and it shapes everything we do.
Who we work with
We partner with hundreds of charities, hospices, libraries and booksellers across the UK — helping them turn surplus and donated books into funding, while keeping books in circulation.
Hospices
From national networks to local independents, hospices use Sell Your Books Pro to support vital funding for end-of-life care.
Libraries
Libraries weed their stock and donations to open up shelf space — and raise funds for their services while they're at it.
Booksellers
Booksellers turn slow-moving and surplus stock into income, with the tools to manage it across their whole team.
