World of Books is a second-hand book retailer, reported to be the United Kingdom's largest. The company buys unsold inventory of used books mostly from UK charity shops. The books are resold either to consumers through the 'World of Books' website and various online sites, or wholesale to recyclers, with about 80% of the books going to recycling.
World Of Books Group is a circular economy, for-profit business. Supporting charities and protecting the planet by enabling more goods to be reused. They don’t believe that books should only be read once, or have a single owner. Literature should endure and be continually recycled, which is why they help millions of used books find new homes every year.
