Generally a good service. Much better than recycling via the bin. I like the option of a pick up by DPD from my home especially as, inevitably, a box of books is very heavy. One star lost because s... See more

The process was easy. Overall very satisfied. I was disappointed in what the books were valued at but I guess its better than the books sitting on a shelf collecting dust.

Experience was easy and quick

Experience was easy and quick. I like the ability to scan the ISBN rather than have to enter it manually. My only complaint is how low the amount of money given for books is. Some books that cost me over $25 I only am offered a dollar or two. Some paperbacks the amount is $O.28 when they cost $18 and are in excellent shape.

Simple and Worthwhile

I was contacted shortly after my books were received and paid the appropriate amount promptly after. It was an easy and worthwhile process and I hope to work with them again in the future.

Easy way to make extra money!

I happened upon this app and love it! It’s my new hobby, scanning thrift store books to make a little extra money. The app is easy to use and payments come within 7 business days! Highly recommend selling books to World of Books!

To be honest very easy to use

To be honest very easy to use, just had to scan the barcodes on the book and they where added to the list and then just send you a number to attach to your box and put in a inpost locker, and they would sent you the money straight to your bank. Honestly if you want to get rid of book just do this instead of throwing them away.

Missing Books

This is the second time I have sold WOB books where I have been told, in this case two of the books I sent, were not received. I know they were packed as I double checked. One of them at least, you had to manually type in the ISBN number, so I don't know if that triggered the issue. I accept they were not of high value but I am still unhappy for this to occur for a second time.
