Excellent
I was extremely happy with the service I received. It's fantastic to be able to re-home books and give other people the chance to enjoy books which I am finished with. What a great idea. The service I received was very efficient and the courier was very pleasant. Keep up the good work, you provide a great service and well done to all.

great service!
Really quick and efficient pick up, got an email a few days later with my voucher and an explanation of how many books were accepted. Been waiting for this option to come back for months so I'm delighted TBS is offering it again!

Selling my books
I've been delighted with this service. I've been packing up the books that I've read and don't intend to re-read or pass on to a friend - then I can buy more books with my voucher. I usually buy children's books with my vouchers so I can read on Skype to my grandchildren in England. I am always recommending this service to many people.
