Book People was founded in 1988 by two book enthusiasts, Ted Smart and Seni Glaister, on the principle of making books available and affordable to everyone. Our dedicated team of book experts use their vast experience to select our hand-picked favourites and we also have our extensive library of over 100,000 items – where there is something for everyone, from the latest titles to timeless classics. We buy our range in bulk direct from publishers and suppliers, so we get the items you want for less – and we pass the savings on to you every time.
