Easy to scan books to check their value and free collection by DPD was great. However I didn't get the expected value for my books - I received a message to say that 3 books were missing from my pack... See more

Identifying books is a cinch using your scanning app, making the process verry easy. And the mailing process is equally simple, convenient and quick. I do wish that the price you pay for books was... See more

Best all-around option
I choose the World of Books app because it has the widest acceptance rate (books they're willing to buy). There seems to be a good amount of competition in this space, so it's inevitable that you'll see variances in who's paying the most for any particular book, but World of Books is usually the winner. The combination of best average buyback value + wide acceptance (basing this on gut feeling alone fwiw) makes World of Books the best all-around option if you have many books to process. I could be nickle-and-diming my way through seven different book buying apps, but it's not worth the effort. World of Books is my go-to for quickly processing lots of extra books and selling them for a good amount. My first box brought in just shy of $70, and my second brought in just north of $100. It helps that occasionally WoB will offer $15 or $30+ on a book that I cannot sell on ebay for nearly as much. WoB is just a great all-around option to have in your back pocket if you go through lots of books.

Nice
I love world of books, it’s a good way to get cheap books not at the library. They don’t pay you much for selling them but you don’t pay much to buy them either. Look for buy 3 get 1 free deals!!

I wish I’d read the reviews before trading with them. I sent in some books and also three tarot decks, all tarot decks as new. In fact, one of them I had only looked through but never actually used. When it came to payment, however, I received a total pittance. Turns out all three decks had been marked as not received. Thieving gits. I thought it would be nice for them to go to someone who might get a bit more use out of them. I wish I hadn’t bothered now. Never again.

The process was very easy but I would have liked to have been offered more for the books themselves (Expensive and current textbooks)

Excellent Service
This is an amazing facility to save wastage of no longer used books so that someone else can use them. Thankyou for making the process so easy.
