Wonderbook "we rescue books" lie
Wonderbook advertises that they've been rescuing books. That may be in the past, but they are now selling them in huge batches to AI companies for the books to be scanned, uploaded to train AI, and destroyed.
While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

i used to think this site was pretty good - good range (although a real PAIN to find things!) & reasonable value but that all went out the window when their books (despite being listed 'very good' or 'like new') started arriving looking totally trashed!!
insult to injury, the last order i placed with them THEY cancelled my order 2 days later stating "we do not feel that the condition of the books align with the condition you tend to look for" (actually what i LOOK FOR, is simply something that fits the condition they themselves state in their book standards - in other words, if something is 'like new', it LOOKS 'like new'!!!).
first time i've actually had a company attempt to make it SOUND like the issue is me & MY standards rather than their being able to meet THEIR OWN.
this is lower-than-low & a shameful attempt to shift blame rather than re-evaluate the standards they list books in!
i would any & all to stay away as their conduct is not only unethical, it's dishonest & fraudulent!
shameful...but then companies like this, will shoot themselves in the foot in time with lost business - especially when so many other sites CAN provide what they advertise.
I've now ordered at least three times, multiple books with each order. I must say I have been very pleased. Condition of books always great so far, and as described. My son turned me onto this site and I really think if has great value for those wanting physical copies of books at very reasonable prices.
Wonder books is a wonder. Fast service. Great stock. Great customer service book arrived securely wrapped. TRY THEM
