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

"The best book I’ve read about football and working-class culture in Britain in the nineties. Buy, steal or borrow a copy now."
—Irvine Welsh

The Football Factory "is not exclusively a novel about [soccer,] it is also a chronicle of a lost tribe – the white Anglo-Saxon, heterosexual who is fed up with being told he is crap. It is the story of a flight from fear by a group of Londoners who have seen the present and know it does not work. King writes powerfully with a raw realism and clear grasp of a culture which has been denied but cannot be ignored."
Glasgow Herald

"King’s novel is not only an outstanding read, but also an important social document. This book should be compulsory reading for all those who believe in the existence, or even the attainability of a classless society."
Sunday Tribune

"Powerfully written, and tells you more about the mentality of those who disrupt football matches than all the theses of the sociologist academics put together."
Daily Mail

"Bleak, thought-provoking and brutal, The Football Factory has all the hallmarks of a cult novel."
