About Our Books

Quality books for a brighter future! 

Like-new, quality books for about half the price.

Our books are in the best possible second-hand condition - practically new in many cases - and we hand-select each book with care. We also now have a selection of new books available to buy and they are also sourced ethically from a stock of books that have already been printed. 

Buy our books to reduce your carbon emissions and save money. 

How does buying books from us help the planet? 

  • Reusing books instead of buying new means a lower contribution to carbon emissions.* 
  • I offer free delivery when you spend £25 or more or if you choose a Book Club Subscription. This reduces the number of small packages we post out, therefore doing our bit to reduce carbon emissions further. 
  • Choose a Book Club Subscription and be 'surprised by us' or choose your own titles from our catalogue. This means you are contributing to a move towards a 'non-demand' shopping culture which has further benefits for the environment as well as being great fun and an opportunity to stretch your reading repertoire of course!
  • Subscriptions are available as quarterly deliveries of 3 books rather than monthly deliveries of 1 book - saving the number of deliveries and impact on the environment as well as saving our customers the cost of additional postage. 
  • We have chosen recyclable packaging and a shipping courier with the lowest carbon emissions in the UK. (Royal Mail 2022 - alternative options available during postage strikes)

I (Lucie) am passionate about recycling and reusing books and I specialise in sourcing books in the best possible second-hand condition.

Our books make excellent gifts for an ethical book lover or as a great treat for yourself! 

The best thing about Book Bubble books is that that you are hardly compromising on quality. I consider our books to be in very good, excellent or as-new or new condition and I personally hand-select each book with care. 

Occasionally we compromise on condition a little where we think the title is of particular interest to our customers, if it is a collectable book or has other value. We always make the condition and age of the book very clear on our listings

I hope that you find joy in browsing and selecting from our Book Bubble Online Shop

I strive to ensure excellent value for money and choice for my customers. If you have any comments or questions, please Contact Us.

Happy reading!
