Our Group
Founded in 2002, World of Books is a circular economy, for profit company that supports charities and protects the planet by enabling more goods to be reused. We are pioneers in the re-use and recycling of unwanted books, recycling about 80 million books each year, equivalent to around half a million trees.

We achieve this through three direct-to-consumer e-commerce businesses, supported by our own technology.

World of Books
Is the UK’s largest seller of used books online; selling to over 190 countries through our own website, marketplaces and wholesale partners. World of Books inventory is in excess of 4 million books, purchased from UK charities in return for payment and saving their waste disposal costs.
For those books we cannot sell, we ensure they are recycled and turned into products such as newspaper, cardboard packaging and tissue products.

Established in 2013, to buy unwanted books, CD’s DVD’s, Blu-ray and console games directly from consumers via its market leading app. The smart technology enables consumers to use their mobile device to scan a product bar code or to simply tap in an ISBN code from a book for an instant valuation.

Ziffit sells all its books, CDs, DVDs and games via World of Books own website or partner websites such as Amazon and eBay.

World of Rare Books
Sells books published prior to 1970 (including rare, vintage and 1st edition titles) alongside vinyl and other ephemera through our own websites and other marketplaces. This business offers one of the largest selections of pre-ISBN books in the market and is the largest supplier of wholesale vintage books for decoration in Europe.

Our Technology
Our success is underpinned by our technology. We have developed bespoke software solutions to tackle changing market conditions and pricing. Our technology manages our warehouse, streams our stock and extends our reach to over 20 global marketplaces.

Our Vision
To be the leading seller of used books globally, while helping people to reuse and recycle for less through innovation and technology

Our Values

**Responsibility**: We work responsibly, value each other and treat the planet with respect.

**Action**: We take actions that improve our business for customers, colleagues, partners and shareholders.

**Pioneering**: We find new ways to better ourselves, lower our costs and grow our business.

Business for Good
World of Books Group is committed to using its business as a force for good in the world and we take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously. Our business model is designed to do good: helping charities, the environment and providing access to literature. As our business grows, so will its impact across these areas.
