Anybody have any dealings with https://bookworldireland.com/ ? They advertise on Facebook, appear to have lots of followers but their website tells one nothing about their operation. Are they even based in Ireland? Prices seem good but I like to know who I'm dealing with before parting with money.

Have flirted with idea of running a second hand book business for years. From desktop research as well as heap of physical book browsing, at first glance those prices look a bit high for used books I would have thought.

I know nothing of this company though.

Books....what are they. I thought the notion of reading a book was as extinct as the dinosaurs. Sadly its a lost art of enjoyment, like
all our communication skills.
But I love them and despite my best attempts at curbing the urge to buy more, I just cant.

I cant say I know the company either, but I must have a peek.

They offer "Mystery Boxes"

I remember some record sellers offering the same a while back.

50 LPs for €50 - absolute sh*te. Bad country music, religious records, unexciting easy listening selections, crap novelty albums etc. Best avoided.

The company replied to me this morning - they are Cork based but online only. I'll be testing the water later and will report back.

My first order - 2 brand new copies of an out of print book which is virtually impossible to find and at a bargain price - now will they arrive?

Let us know how that goes Del.

The books arrived by GLS courier today in good order but packaging was minimal i.e. no bubblewrap. Apart from that I have no complaints and will be doing a further trawl through their stock later.

Ah the thrush, the greatest little songbird of them all.
