It PAYS to go GREEN!
Books can’t be recycled in the same way as newspapers and magazines, however, they can be recycled in a VERY sustainable way! You simply need to ensure that they stay in circulation by finding them a new home. By doing this you not only reduce unnecessary waste but increase the pleasure a good book can give, while helping the environment at the same time!
Join a growing community of buyers and sellers, where the more books you buy and sell, the more trees can be saved and planted - we donate 5p from every sale to The Woodland Trust.
Buying books couldn’t be easier, all our books cost just £3.75 inc. free delivery on most paperbacks. Then once you've read and enjoyed the book, turn it into cash and earn £3.00 for every book sold!
Help us recycle and reuse books and give your paper back! How does it work?
Meet the Author - where each week you can see a different author introducing one of their books:
This week we're featuring Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. Fat Charlie Nancy is not actually fat. He was fat once but he is definitely not fat now. No, right now Fat Charlie Nancy is angry, confused and more than a little scared - right now his life is spinning out of control, and it is all his dad's fault. 'Gaiman juggles several intersecting narratives expertly! Blithely echoing numerous creation myths and folklore motifs, Terry Southern's antic farces, Evelyn Waugh's comic contes cruel, and even - here and there - Muriel Spark's whimsical supernaturalism! Enormously entertaining throughout'
