About Us

With a turnover in excess of £100 million and over some 20 million books sold each year, you can rest assured that the supplier for your new and exciting business has a great track record in this industry.

We're a name you can trust! An award-winning family firm, the Book People have been bringing high quality books to our customers for over 20 years. With our network of distributors we are part of local communities across the UK and Ireland, while our mail order catalogue and website give you access to a world of books from your living room!


We're great value! We know that our customers love the Book People's fantastic prices, and we're committed to bringing you the best books at amazing discounts. You'll find our range of exclusive book sets and hand-picked favourites at discounts of at least 50% and often over 75% off the publishers' prices, because we work with the publishers to come up with excellent deals on the books we know our customers want.


We're exclusive! Our great-value book sets are produced just for us – you'll love our high quality collections of books from classic and bestselling authors and the most popular children's characters.

Although we have an enviable reputation we're always looking for ways to improve what we offer our customers. Whether it's increasing our range, getting involved in projects to encourage children to read or sponsoring book awards, we never stand still.
