For the love of reading.

We have more than 13 million titles to choose from, from the earliest board books to the all-time classics of literature .

Used books are often treasures that are out-of-print or rare. With Wish Lists you can choose to be notified the instant we find a copy, see how often we find rare titles, and see who else is interested.

When you've found the books you want we'll ship qualifying orders to your door for FREE in 100% recyclable packaging. If there is no demand for a book, we will donate it to charity, or we'll recycle it.

Search and Find the Best Second Hand Book Price Online

(millions of used books worldwide)  

• Global Book Stores
• UK Book Stores
• US Book Stores

Search Results:

Used book search – quick & reliable world book price comparison.

usedbooksearch.co.uk is a meta search engine for finding used books, textbooks , antiquarian,  rare/valuable  and out of print books . Search, find and buy second hand books online from hundreds of bookstores worldwide. Our used book search engine is linked to thousands of online booksellers via a small number of book marketplaces, such as Abebooks , Amazon Marketplace and Alibris .

usedbooksearch.co.uk consolidates information

In order to get you the best possible price for second hand books online, usedbooksearch.co.uk aggregates/consolidates information about the top used book marketplaces. (This means that we do not sell books directly)

Go straight to those sites that have your used book for sale by filling in the above form and clicking on the ‘Search’ button .

More information on buying used books online, search tips.

• Enter a single word (or part word) in any or all of the search boxes.
• Try not to use specialist characters like ‘&’ or ‘*’ or ‘?’ which may have unexpected results.
• Click on ‘Search’ when ready for a price comparison.
• When you see the price you like or the used book site you prefer click on it to transfer to this vender site for the option to buy.
• The default is for bookshops worldwide though you can always toggle to USA or UK after the search. Alternatively, to search from stores in a particular country, you can select from the country flag in the top right corner.

Buying Used Books Online

When buying books online you have the product at your fingertips instead of getting in the car or on the bus and making the trek to the brick and mortar store. Buying second hand books online can be less expensive and it makes comparison-shopping much easier.

Given the choice of buying a used book for one dollar/pound/euro or twenty without any difference in quality….. which one are you going to go for? Would you spend hours at your local used book store to find they have not got what you need on the shelf anyway?

Are you worried about buying second hand books online because you cannot physically touch the books?

• Books sold online usually have a categorisation and/or a detailed descriptions of their condition
• Online Book Sellers have peace-of-mind Returns Policies that you can read beforehand
• If you buy from Amazon , Alibris or Ebay , you can read customer reviews. Abebooks and Biblio 's star ratings are based on order completion rates

For more information on how a book's condition is categorised on on each book store, what returns policies they have, and how online store's individual ratings are calculated, please read on…

Online second hand book shops - more information, i. book condition categorisation.

Abebooks has a page, where they explain the various Book Condition terms:

https://www.abebooks.co.uk/books/rarebooks/collecting-guide/understanding-rare-books/guide-book-conditions.shtml

“Fine” and “As New” books should have no defects (although, Fine books do not have the ‘crisp’ feel that new books do)

For any of the terms below Fine (Very Good, Good, Fair or Poor), Abebooks states that “Any defects should be noted by the seller” – so, particularly in these cases, one should read the book description carefully, in order to understand any defects that a used book may have.

ii. Book Seller Ratings

iii. Delivery Time

Iv. delivery price.

v. Return Policies

Vi. payment options.

Remember, that unless it says Sold by: Amazon Media EU, Amazon is just acting as a marketplace for other sellers.

You therefore need to pay close attention to the information regarding these 3rd party sellers.

Click on the store link to go to the store page that stocks your book, and have a look at the Customer Feedback

iii. Delivery

At this point, if you click on the Filter dropdown, you are able to Filter by sellers that include ‘Free Delivery’

If you find yourself regularly opting to buy books from Amazon , then it may be worth considering  Amazon Prime .

And given that Amazon offers a 30 day free trial, there’s nothing to lose in trying it out anyway!

Amazon Prime offers:

And, as an extra bonus for readers:

“Prime Reading lets you enjoy unlimited reading on any device, with over a thousand books, magazines, comics and articles.” “ Amazon First Reads allows you to choose one Kindle book of the six Editors' Picks each month for no additional cost.”

We don’t want you to completely replace much-loved physical used books with e-books. However, for some incorporating both physical and e-books in to our lives (especially when travelling), can be a nice option.

iv. Amazon Returns

Amazon provides extensive information about it’s returns policies here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=20772621031

Most used books are bought from Amazon marketplace, rather than Amazon itself.

In which case, they will have their own returns policies. Amazon does state, however, that “The returns policy offered by Marketplace sellers must be equivalent to or better than the returns policy offered by Amazon .co.uk.” For more information, you can read this page: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GV38326YW5JX9V9X

v. Payment Options on Amazon

In addition to all of the standard payment methods, such as Debit Card and Paypal, you also have the option of paying by Amazon Gift Cards and Amazon Pay Balance.

Just like Abebooks , Alibris is an online book marketplace where book sellers can list their books. This gives the bookshops access to a large audience, and it gives you book buyers a huge marketplace – win-win!

The condition of books on Alibris are written in the descriptions of the books, and so you cannot filter by book condition, like you can on Amazon .

The up-side, however, is that the description is often elaborated on – so, for example, you will have “Very Good: a copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. “, rather than just “very good” – so you get to see a better description of the condition, which could otherwise be a slightly subjective categorisation.

Alibris has a very useful grading terms list here, which is particularly important for more  valuable books:

https://www.alibris.co.uk/article/021114/book-condition-grading/determining-conditions

ii. Delivery

Iii. returns.

The filtering system here is easier than on Amazon , and isn’t possible on Abebooks or Alibris .

Each user on Ebay has a Feedback score, solely based on prior customer feedback.

Be sure to bear in mind how many users the feedback score is based on. 100% positive feedback from 1000s of people obviously holds more value than when based on just 5 people.

You can be confident with sellers that have a feedback score of 100% from 100s or 1000s of users.

iv. Returns

If you then click on ‘See details’ you will see more details about the returns policy, including whether or not the item is covered by Ebay ’s ‘Money Back Guarantee’ policy: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/ebay-money-back-guarantee-policy/ebay-money-back-guarantee-policy?id=4210

Biblio is another second-hand book marketplace. It is targeted at book collectors and is an excellent place to go to for rare and collectible books.

i. Book Conditions

Biblio ’s condition classification is a little different to the other sites. They use “As New (AN)”, “Fine (F)”, “Good (G)”, “Fair” and “Poor”

Biblio has a detailed explanation of their Book Condition Classifications here:

https://biblio.co.uk/book-collecting/basics/how-to-read-bookseller-descriptions/

Don’t forget that it is the individual book sellers that are assigning these classifications. In the case of more expensive, rare books, it would be worth ‘asking the seller a question’ to get more details, before committing to a purchase.

The ratings on Biblio are based on ‘order fulfilment rates’ for the previous 90 days, rather than customer reviews. “Order fulfillment is the percentage of orders placed with that seller which were filled.”

This is unlike the other sites, where user ratings are incorporated into the star system.

The delivery costs are clearly displayed underneath the book price on the search results pages of Biblio :

The delivery time is displayed once on the checkout page, and you can opt to pay more for expediated shipping.

Biblio offers a 30-day money back guarantee for peace of mind:

https://biblio.co.uk/pages/order_guarantee.html

Additionally, each individual book seller will have their own, varying terms, within this. For example, booksellers will accept returns from customers who placed an order incorrectly, but others won’t. You will need to check the individual book seller page for their unique terms.

Blackwell's

Blackwell’s is an online book store (it also has physical shops) that sells new books. Their prices include delivery.

Their books are normally dispatched within 7 days, and then their delivery time is 2-4 days after dispatch.

They have a very simple, no-questions-asked returns policy.
