I received my books in a organized matter, they contacted me and I received my items, I just had a delay because of the delivery company but it has nothing to do with the store it self! The books were clean and looks new I recommend you to stop looking at reviews and treat yourself to a book for cheap price!

Thank you Syed for your review and sorry to see that you only gave us 3 stars. Plz note that we don't chose our books but we sell them on behalf of hundreds of sellers. Popular books are received more than 10 times since we started and they get sold in less than a week. In fact we sold more than 100 copies of Harry Potter so far.
You must have missed them as we enter new books on daily basis. We have currently more than 4000 titles. I hope you will find your choices next time.
Worth it!
Great customer service, got the books in amazing condition!! Super duper happy!! Would definitely purchase again from Bookends!!

I've got my books sooner than I thought and they were in a pretty good condition. The only complaint that I have is about the packaging, it was mediocre. But overall I'm quite happy with the service.

Thank you Elsa for taking your time to post a review. I would like to kno more about why you didn't like our packing as we are using newspapers on purpose as to encourage reusing them or it was torn and in a bad shape? Hope to see your next order soon :)

Good prices
BOOKENDS is a great second hand bookstore, great customer service and relatively fast delivery. Good prices. I do hope they improve their website and search engine, as it takes a long time to go through their book selection.

I came across the website just…
I came across the website just scrolling through Facebook. I am an avid reader and was looking for some books to buy but not spending too much. It was as if my dream came true and ordered 8 books on my first purchase itself (Will be ordering more soon).
I must say I was not disappointed and I received the books in a couple of days. I am thoroughly enjoying reading them now. It would be even better if some more writers are added.
Keep up the good work bookends!

Thank you Aslma for your review. We are trying to add as many books as possible. It all depends on what we receive from the sellers. Plz note that you can also sell books with us after you finish reading and you don't want to keep the books on the shelves. Hope you will find your choices next time.
Excellent experience
Excellent experience, condition of the books was as good as new. It's an affordable and logical way of getting good books.
