FAQ

We can try as we have quite a few places where we typically source books from but we can't give any guarantees that we'll be successful.

It has, unfortunately, happened a few times that a customer requests that we find specific books for him or her and, after we have done so, we never hear from them again and we are stuck with books that no-one else wants.

We haven't yet figured out how to solve this problem - unlike sellers of new items, we can't return unsold books.

You should also try to find the book/s on BidorBuy or Facebook Marketplace. There are many trusted book sellers listing there (but still be careful!) and it is often surprising what one can find!

Unfortunately it's very difficult to answer this. We buy books as we come across them.

Often, when asked this question, it is at a time when the author has become very popular and his/her books then become especially difficult to find.

Please add these books to your wishlist and our system will email you if they come back into stock.

Thank you -)

We try very hard to get our hands on pre-loved books and we've been lucky to locate sources where we can buy books new or in very good condition.

Of course, that's not always the case and therefore we provide a broad description of the condition of each book.

Being human, we aren't always completely consistent when it comes to choosing, for example, between Very Good and Good but we believe in stating the condition as somewhat worse than it is, so you're pleasantly surprised, rather than unpleasantly upset!

No, we don't.

Unfortunately there is quite an illegal trade in textbooks and, even though we realize that new textbooks are very expensive, we do not support illegal activities in any way.

Unfortunately we don't buy or accept trade-ins.

Firstly, if you look at the prices we sell books for, you can imagine that we won't pay you much for your books and you would feel insulted that the books you paid so much for are now worth so little.

Secondly, we have over 3000 books in storage that we have not yet listed on our website (each book has to be added manually), so we have more than enough to keep us busy!

As we sell used books it's difficult to know when we'll come across a particular book. We still show out of stock books on our catalog to enable customers to add these books to their wishlist. When a book on your wishlist goes back into stock, you will receive an email alert from our system.

Large online retailers also have many items that are out of stock. One just tends not to notice this because they stock so many items!
