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 history of London we have been waiting for, told with elegance and precision.”—Ken Loach

“An irrepressible book about an irrepressible community.”—Zadie Smith, foyles

“Those who continue to uphold London’s living traditions of protest will be able to take heart from this fresh and welcome look at the city’s history.”—Jerry White, Guardian

“It’s the suffragists, silk weavers, militant match girls, Brick Lane anarchists, Tom Paine, William Morris and Karl Marx that make London interesting—then and now the great cauldron of radical ideas and action.”—John Nichols, The Nation

“A timely reminder that there is a very different side to London, every bit as energetic and exciting in its way”—Scotsman

“An inspiring history of radical activism, and this chronicle of these heroes who stood shoulder to shoulder is a timely reminder.”—Dan Carrier, Camden New Journal

“A fascinating tale of activism (and sometimes success) by such groups as the disenfranchised, those oppressed because of gender or race, and those whose lives developers have upended....Recommended.”—CHOICE
