Amazing selection of unusual titles

The selection of titles offered is wide and diverse. What makes this different is that the titles of the books reflect an overwhelming choice of so many subjects, including titles that are not available in other places. The discounted prices are wonderful and enables a home library to grow.

First class books, service and packaging.

Postscript Books’ website is well designed, easy to use and has a comprehensive range of books, at heavily reduced prices, across numerous categories.

Delivery prices are very reasonable and delivery times are short. The packaging provided is first class, ensuring that the books are received in perfect condition, and all of it is recyclable.

Quality books, at excellent prices.

I have purchased from PostScript Books on several occasions, and have always been impressed by the quality of books and service.
Their selection of books, via the catalogue and website, have also been a great for sourcing presents.

Quality Catalogue

Good catalogue, many subjects I am interested in. To a nonagenarian a paper catalogue is superior to a WiFi one. Easier to mark selections! Sadly let down by very poor delivery which I now ignore and await a future pleasure.

Minecraft boxed set

The price and delivery were good and although the books were packaged well there was damage to the display box.
I can only presume it was in that condition when packed?
As this is for a gift I was a little disappointed.

Good afternoon,

We're glad to hear that the delivery was quick, but we're very sorry that the display box arrived damaged, especially as this was a gift. That is not the standard we aim for, and we want to make this right.

One of our Customer Service agents will be in touch to discuss the best way to rectify this for you.

Kind regards,
Postscript Customer Services

Excellent care and exquisite service

Two weeks ago, I purchased 4 books from Postscript. The prices were excellent and much lower than my usual retailers.
It was my first order and was not sure what to expect.
The order arrived within the timeframe indicated in the order.
I was really impressed by the care used in preparing my order: the books had been wrapped in bubble wrap and inside a perfectly fitting box.
All the books were brand new; there was also included in the order, a bookmark, a catalogue and a voucher for 20% discount when referring a friend.
I love books and was pleased with the care displayed ❤️
I will definitely buy more books from them xxx
