Welcome to Anybook!

Established in 1998 Anybook Ltd. has sold tens of thousands of scholastic books to university libraries, academics, students and reflective bibliophiles throughout the world.

As the majority of our books are ex-library they are well bound, in good, clean condition and ideally suited for study and research. Our books cover a huge range of academic disciplines from Mathematics, Science and Philosophy to Art and Literature as well as many works in other European languages. Cordially, we invite you to browse or search our stock. If you do not find the book or books that you are looking for, we do do a free book search.

We understand how important careful packaging is. All our books are hand wrapped, and protected against impact damage with double-clad bubble wrap or double-corrugated cardboard, or in the case of multiple orders, both. We also make a conscious effort to use nothing but recycled materials, and are currently looking at ways of providing the same level of protection, with 100% eco-friendly products. 

Our preferred courier for both National and International deliveries is Royal Mail and we have thousands of satisfied customers who can testify as to their reliability, however, we are more then happy to deal with any other couriers you may prefer, simply add a note to the order. Their shipping rates are available here. Naturally, should any of our products be damaged in transit, we offer a complete and unconditional refund of all your costs.

Our website calculates shipping costs based upon average book weight of 1Kg. We may contact you for additional postage should your order be significantly overweight. Each book has a 50p handling charge which includes packaging materials.

Our Promise

We have always offered a complete and unconditional guarantee on all our books. Should you be dissatisfied with any aspect of our service, we will refund all the costs you have incurred in making the purchase including those associated with postage.  We also need and welcome your opinions about our business and our products so that we can continue to offer book-lovers the high standard of service they have come to expect from us.

Payment Methods Accepted

As well as Visa and Mastercard, we also accept Switch, Discover and Solo. If you don't purchase via the secure cart, please send card details in two emails for security together with the billing address.

We accept personal cheques in British Pounds as well as direct bank payments without any commission or additional charges. All personal cheques should be made payable to 'Anybook Ltd.'. Account details are available upon request.

We also accept Paypal (www.paypal.com) and Nochex (www.nochex.com) payments.

Other methods of payment are possible but please email us for details.

***The checkout on our site uses shipping rates based upon the weight of an average book and the charges of our preferred courier Royal Mail (www.royalmail.com). If you are in doubt about the shipping charges - particularly for multiple orders - please get in touch and we will double check them. If the book(s) is/are too heavy the standard shipping costs - we will contact you with a revised shipping quote. ***

If you see something you want - click the button.

This will take you ordering/further information page.  There check any additional information about the book or shipping methods and if you still want the book add it to your basket by clicking the icon.

This will take you to a page showing your contents of your shopping basket.  From here you can either finish the order by clicking the 'next' button or return to our listings to see if there is any other book you are interested in.

This is a common concern. In eight years of internet trading, with hundreds of thousands of sales we have never had an incident to credit card fraud. And whilst it is possible that credit card information sent over the internet falls into the wrong hands and is subsequently misused - intercepting credit card information over the net is not easy to do. It is far easier for people to steal credit card numbers in other ways for example in shops and restaurants. If you are careful online credit card purchases are perfectly safe.

If you purchase a book via this site's shopping cart the information you give us is encrypted and sent to a secure server. Once processed all details are deleted permanently.  Alternatively, you may send us your card details and billing address by email.  In which case, for extra safety, we recommend that you split the information over two emails. We do not hold any card details on file and once we have processed a payment the details are deleted.

Alternatively again, you may make a card payment by our online partner -  Paypal (www.paypal.com) which is one of the world''s largest card processors with tens of millions of users making hundreds of millions of transactions each month.  This organisation guards card details very carefully and in any case any transactions made via Paypal are guaranteed against fraud.

We also accept cheques in American Dollars and British Pounds and also take direct bank transfers (details available on request). Please make all payments payable to ‘Anybook Ltd.’.

If none of these methods are convenient, please get in touch and we may be able to find alternative solutions.

Due to the sheer volume of sales, we are now a mail-order company only and unfortunately this means that an inspection prior to purchasing a book is no longer possible. However, if there are any specific details you need to know we will naturally relay the information to you by email. In addition if you would like to discuss a book in more depth over the phone let us know and we will ring you with the book in hand. As always we guarantee a full refund if the book does not meet to your expectations.

When we price our books we try to be as competitive as possible to give all our customers value for money. We are therefore not able to lower our prices for individual purchases. However, we do offer a 10% discount on orders of over 15 books and a 15% discount on orders of over 25 books.

This does depend on which level of service you ask for when you order the book. Deliveries in the UK are normally delivered within two working days of receipt of payment although heavy parcels will take a couple of days longer. For continental European delivery times are around a week. With International outside of Europe deliveries there are two options: airmail which takes around seven working days or surface which can take up to eight weeks. Please contact us if you need the book urgently, as express services are available although we will have to pass on the extra cost.

Books do occasionally get lost in transit. But it is more common that the book is delayed rather that actually lost. Most booksellers will offer a refund in such cases, but may wait to hear from their couriers before giving one. At Anybook we don’t wait but refund first and investigate afterwards. In certain cases we may add a little to the carriage charges to cover the extra cost of insurance and parcel tracking. We use Britain’s largest delivery company Royal Mail although if you prefer we can use other couriers as well.
We are also very careful packers! But again, should any damage occur in transit - we will offer a full refund or a partial refund as you prefer.

The only real disadvantage with purchasing online is that you are not able to physically inspect purchases beforehand. You therefore rely on an accurate description of the item. We try very hard to describe our books as fully as possible and try to include any relevant details about the books and note any defects we find. In the unlikely event that this does not happen, we offer an unconditional refund of the costs of the books and any postage costs, which may have been incurred. We will also make such a refund if it turns out that the book is simply not the one you were looking for although to avoid this happening we would prefer that if you are in any doubt ask us beforehand.

Our warehouses are Lincolnshire (UK).

Please do write, email or telephone us if you have any questions.
