Excellent service
January 1, 2025

Ordered a book from Campsie Books a few days before Christmas with no expectation that it would be delivered before Christmas, this was a replacement for a book that arrived damaged from another site. The book arrived a couple of days after Christmas in excellent second hand condition. Price and postage were great value. Communication throughout could not be faulted. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Good, there was a delay but it was the delivery company's fault, the shop kept me up to date with the situation the best they could.

Brilliant service.
September 16, 2024

I just needed one book which they had, but when I went on their site I was tempted by so many more books to read and all so reasonable in their prices.So I got 5 in the end. The condition of the books was as good as new and are a real pleasure to read.

The book shop kept me informed of the delivery process and responded quickly to my order - which I consider a real bonus.So I got the "one vital book... The Hobbit, which my cleaner needed for her son" within days.

The service this book shop provides is certainly really impressive, and I will certainly be using them again.

The range is a bit limited but very interesting, conditions accurately described and the prices really are amazing value. Efficient delivery was also free after £20 value ordering. Efficient, honest descriptions and good prices. Thanks team, I'm definitely saving Campsie to favourites.
Eg this wonderful hardback edition was less than £3

Humbled
August 25, 2024

I was more than a little upset when I realised that my original copy of Calum's Road had been taken from our house by a visitor. I looked on line to see if I could find a 1st edition replacement and Campsie Books had the right goods.
I was more than a little concerned when the delivery was possibly coming via Evri who have a very low success rate of finding correct addresses where I live so when it came by good old Royal Mail the day day after I'd voiced my concerns I was humbled and apologetic to Campsie books.
Thanks a million
Great service via Royal Mail

I am looking to support independents - especially booksellers and have not been disappointed with this little gem of a company. Thank you guys for reminding me that customer service is NOT automated bots churning out pre-conceived messages... and keeping it human. Keep the faith...

Books were exactly as described - great price and great condition. Arrived safely. It would be helpful to be given an accurate estimate of shipping and arrival date when you make your purchase.

Many thanks will definitely use again!

The Andromeda Strain
March 22, 2020

Book came promptly in fantastic condition. Absolutely gripping story - a masterfully paced thriller that I read cover to cover in two sittings over 24 hours. Highly recommended. Great service from Campsie as well, the handwritten note that came with the book was a lovely touch. Will be using the site again and have recommended to my gf who reads voraciously.

I ordered lord of the flies, one of my favorite novels by William Golding. The book, even though it stated it was 'second hand', looks as good as new and arrived in perfect condition. I will definitely be coming back to purchase more books in the future. Delivery was also very fast :)

Fantastic!
May 14, 2020

This site had the best price for the book I wanted, and even second hand it is in virtually brand new condition - I'm very impressed! Ronnie sent me an email thanking me for my order and also a handwritten note on the receipt of my purchase when it had arrived - a really nice personal touch which is often hard to come by these days - it really brightened by day! Very impressed and will definitely order again.

I was delighted to find an old childhood favourite "The AA Touring Guide to Scotland" 1975 edition. This book inspired me as a child to explore every Part of scotland I could when I grew up, and eventually did. Fantastic illustrations and stories of old. I can't believe I found this after so many years. Great memories brought back to life.

Many thanks, Ronnie - The Disinformer is for my father who hasn't yet read it. Excellent service, great prices, cheap postage if under £10, otherwise free. Plus, the book is in excellent condition, not just 'good'. Very happy, Jo.
