What is a preloved book?

A Pre-Loved book is often referred to as a "Used Book", that has been previously owned and read by someone else before being offered for sale again. These books are directly imported from UK & US.

Each book in our preloved collection is handpicked to be of best quality, cleaned and sanitised. The books are meticulously inspected and the condition is transparently stated in the description. 

We assure that the same book will be sent to you that is shown in the picture. 

Book Condition Guide

We have categorised books into 3 major categories depending on its condition:

  • Next to new: Mostly unused books just like a new one.
  • Excellent: Very less/gently used books with no or hardly noticeable wear and tear.
  • Good: Gently used books which contain minor defects which does not affect the reading experience.

 

Disclaimer

We want to make sure you have a great experience with our preloved books! While we don’t sell any books that are fully damaged or unreadable, our used books might show some signs of love from their previous owners. This can include minor issues like bent corners, a dull cover, general wear and tear, or library stickers and seals. We do our best to describe any defects in each book’s listing and include photos for you to see its condition. Occasionally, we might miss something, but this is never intentional.

We also ensure that all sound books are functional before they are posted, listed, and shipped. A picture showing the working condition is displayed on the product page. If a sound book doesn’t work upon delivery, it’s usually because it needs a new battery, and this resolves the issue in 90% of cases.

For art, activity, sticker, puzzle, search-and-find, and spotting books, please note that they may have been gently used by a previous reader. Photos of these books are available on the product page for you to review before placing an order. Thank you for choosing our preloved books!
