About World of Books Ltd West Sussex, United Kingdom

Biblio member since 2007
Seller rating: This seller has earned a 2 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

Media reviews

“His message is stark but Gott is never shrill. He writes as a scholar, not an accuser.”—Jonathan Steele, Red Pepper

“A welcome, even necessary, corrective.”—Stephen Howe, Independent

“Stimulating, inspirational and much needed.”—Dan Glazebrook, Morning Star

“Pungent and provocative ... a rich compendium of revolt.”—Gavin Bowd, Scotland on Sunday

“A tour de force.”—History Today
