Better World Books

I order mostly hardbacks and am able to find the titles that are difficult to locate. The books have always been in good and some excellent condition for used books, except for markings and stickers from overzealous librarians. The discounts are a plus and the sales with free shipping are great. BW checks to see if my order was received which is nice and shows concern. I have been ordering for some time now. That's why they are my go-to place.

I love Better World Books! Best place to buy books online! It makes it affordable for me to buy lots of books to share with my kids and to read myself. They ship quickly, shipping is free and customer service is great. It is also WONDERFUL to know that my purchases are supporting literacy and libraries. Between buying used and paying a tiny carbon offset, I can also rest in the knowledge that our purchases are not harming the environment. Thank you, BWB for an all around amazing book shopping experience!

I'm making purchases from Better World Books because I like what they stand for. I like that they are concerned not only about making profits but also about people and the planet, that they are doing things to make the world a better place. The ordering process is simple, easy, and convenient to use. I don't expect next day delivery and my orders arrive within a reasonable amount of time. They have free shipping and the prices are comparable to other sites.

For 20 years, I have relied on Amazon and eBay for price and ABE and Alibris for very good to fine used books, mostly out-of-print. As a collector, hard cover books and edition are important. For books that I don't intend to keep after reading (primarily fiction), BWB is perfect because I can purchase hard cover books, usually ex-library but without an over abundance of stickers and stamps in very good condition for $4.98. At this price, I have been able to read fiction authors who write numerous books with the same protagonist and in order that they were written (see below pic). BWB's service is excellent as I receive the books quickly, not quite as fast as Amazon Prime but not many days thereafter and also free shipping. Very pleased to have recently discovered this site and highly recommend BWB to all book lovers.

Overall, I am pleased to find used books at a decent price including unique, out of print, and sometimes challenging to find ones. My only beef is that at least with 1-3 books I order in a group of them, a "very good" book is not what I called "very good" but "roughly used" with bent corners, folds, and creases on the front and back covers. It looks more like a book that has been at the bottom of a middle schooler's locker for half the year and found. I would like the wear of the books to be more accurate.
The books were both labeled the same but are not in the small category to me. The Missing Diary picture looks better than in real life including the small food stain on the bottom left at the binding. Just not quite sure how they can both be "used very good". You just have to know it can happen.

I looked everywhere online for this book to get for my niece, but to buy it new it was outrageously high priced. After scouring through used books sights I found this one with the book I wanted for less than $9 including tax! The book is like brand new and has no tears or writing in it whatsoever. I chose this sight because all the other sights said the book may have notes or highlighting in it, but who wants that even in a used book?! So happy I found this sight and will be purchasing more books from here after I finish telling all my family and friends about it!

I've ordered several times from Better World Books. Now, with the pandemic and libraries closed, I am very fortunate to have stacks of books I'm going through. I love the messages of BWB: giving back, being aware of the carbon footprint. Love this company! And offering expedited free shipping at this time is very cool.

How great is this! A tremendous selection of books to buy, at very competitive prices. On top of that, every purchase helps send free books to those who can't afforest them, and makes a donation to fund non-profit organizations changing the world through education and literacy.
All that, with a 100% money-back guarantee.
Enjoy your books, and make every purchase contribute to literacy world-wide. Win-Win!

I bought three books on the 1st October 2021 and have still not receives my order after two months two weeks down the line. I say they are a scam because their website does not offer tracking numbers for their orders. And what is the reason for no tracking details and just the order number. How does one go to the Post Office and ask for shipment without a tracking number?

As matters stand now, my status of the books I ordered reflects that I only ordered two books and not three as before. Initially, one book was to have been shipped from USA and others from UK. However, the one from UK does not reflect anymore and its just those from USA.

I still have email communication I had with them as proof to all this. What I don't like about the reviews appearing currently on their website is that they are on their webpage, and not from an independent one. This rings a bell, isn't it?

Wonderful service! My order arrived promptly and in good condition, and all of my interactions were pleasant. They sent me an email with a letter from my book, which I found very endearing, and included any necessary information about shipping and returns. I would absolutely order from them again.
