Thanks Naeem. We try our best to maintain a good quality standard for our pre-loved books.
Pre-Loved books - a great sustainable idea!
I came across this blog about the sustainable ways of living in UAE, one of them being using Pre-Loved/second hand things & how its good for the environment. This website was recommended on that blog. I checked out their website & was pleasantly surprised at the range of books available from a host of different genres, that too for very low prices. Bookends is a place to not only buy but also sell your books. They offer home delivery of books. They lady I was conversing with was really sweet & friendly. I got my books delivered within 2 days. I applaud Bookends for this sustainable initiative & giving used books a second lease of life. I have already encouraged my friends & family to check out this website & I will come back for more. Cheers & Best Wishes!
