The offer I recieved from world books came via a telephone call from one of their representatives, I was offered a free book plus £40 of book vouchers to spend in the club magazine, I was happy to take up this offer, it ...  Read the complete review

World Books In no uncertain terms, World Books are a prime example of new age vagabonds. I have yet to meet anyone who has had a good experience of this company and I sincerely doubt I ever will. *****Background to World Books***** World Books is one of the Book Clubs within the BCA organisation (Book ...  Read the complete review

I have been a member of World Books for a couple of years now but am getting sick and tired of returning books I haven't ordered so on 1st September I sent them a letter explaining that I was going to cancel my membership, as quite frankly they are unreliable and not good value for money when you consider the great prices and offers in High Street ...  Read the complete review

Like most other people here, I was taken in my the incredibly low introductory offer. However, a month later I was sent 2 books which I had not ordered. Worldbooks agreed to send me a return postage label, so I wouldn't incur any charges myself on returning the books. 6 months later, the label finally arrived, so I packed up the books and ...  Read the complete review

World books have members in excess of 600,000; and have been going for many years now and are owned BCA (British Club Associates) who also own other well known companies including BOL, Just good books and ...  Read the complete review

I read a lot of books, so when I saw the joining offer for World Books I thought great, I can get my first lots of books really cheap and then buy enough to fulfill my committment over a year. My first order (the discounted books) arrived no problem in June 04, and a book I ordered for my boyfriend's birthday arrived eventually in July ...  Read the complete review

Having joined World of Books almost a year ago, on the offer of a ggod deal on Oxford University Books, I was sucked in. I was very happy with the service they first of all offered, so much so that in November I purchased over £150.00 of books as Christmas presents. Since Feburary I have been ringing their premium rate phone line and ...  Read the complete review

World Books is a book club which you are able to order a selection of books from, I have written how the club works and my opinions on it. -Initial Offer- I initially thought World Books was a good idea when an offer came through the post and offered 5 books for the price of from 1p a book. Thinking this was a good offer I ...  Read the complete review

I have recently joined World Books and thought they are really good. To join World Books Club you chose 5 books for £2 each and then the terms and conditions are you have to buy 4 books in a year. You have a great selection to chose from when your thinking of buying another book e.g. gardening, exercise, autobiography, horror, ...  Read the complete review

Much as I hate to admit it I am typical book club fodder. I'm a total book worm, I'm (now) a self confessed shopaholic, I love getting things in the post and I like convincing myself that somehow I've saved money instead of buying a load of books I wouldn't have bought in the first place. This summer I've managed ...  Read the complete review

I have read a number of opinions that have criticised World Books and I would like to share my positive experiences and a top tip. I have been a World Book Club member several times (I will explain a little later) for about 6 years now. The book club offers fantastic introductory offers which have saved me around £100. In return for ...  Read the complete review

I joined this book club because of the exceptional introductory offer. I am a very avid reader and collector of books. So the deal was perfect for me. I fulfilled my membership obligation in no time and was pleased with the club up until then. Once my obligation was met and I started sending back the form asking for no selection that month, ...  Read the complete review

A couple of years ago, I joined up for World Books. I read quite a lot, and as they advertised huge savings compaired to high street stores, I thought it would be a good move. Not so. I sent off for my special introductory offer. This was good value as I got all of my books for on average 75p. They arrived quickly, and in good condition, ...  Read the complete review

Whatever you do dont get sucked in by this book club. I have had nothing but hassle since joining them. I was taken in by the cheap books offer, and got five good books at a really cheap price. The catch then is that you have to buy a further five books during your first twelve months of membership. No problem I thought, as ...  Read the complete review

I have been a member of World Books on and off for about six years now I usually stay with them during the time that you must stay with them, and then leave. I usually rejoind them when a leaflet arrives throught the door, using their special offer and free gift. By doing this you are able to obtain books which you would not normally buy due to ...  Read the complete review

I love reading books and I prefer to buy them rather than just lend from the local library. All my children have read books from a very early age, it is important I think, far better than sitting them in front of the television or computer every night. I will now get on with the opinion on World Books: Don’t get ...  Read the complete review

I was a bit dubious about joining a book club as I thought that there must be some catch! and that the offers were too good to be true. I joined world books at the beginning of this year over the internet. I thought that the offer of 6 books for 1pence each and a free gift of a parker pen or a cheap looking watch and a mystery gift, was ...  Read the complete review

I joined this club because i was tempted by a leaflet that was sent to me offering 6 books for 1p, and a cat watch. All the books i ordered came within a fortnight ,so i was purring with delight over my new purchases. The club produces some of their own special editions I found this to be good because the books were more compact ...  Read the complete review

World Books has a pretty decent range of reading material on offer; but I have found it is rather heavily weighted in favour of the fiction types, such as books by Catherine Cookson, Danielle Steel, etc. If you start up with this Club, whether or not you remain with it will depend greatly on your personal choice of reading material. I ...  Read the complete review

I decided to join up nearly 3 years ago they had offer me 6 books at 50p each then all I had to do over the first year was buy 5 more books. That sounded great to me so I ordered my 6 cheap books and got a free mug, which was good to. But then the books I had ordered would take weeks to turn up and they kept sending me the ...  Read the complete review
