About Postscript Books
Browsing the shelves
The stock covers fiction, non-fiction, history, academic subjects and children's books. Titles come from major publishers and small presses, and many are grouped by author, series or theme. Most listings carry a description by professional writers, giving an honest summary of the book. Because so much is overstock and remainders, prices sit well below the cover price. Books are new, though a few may show light shelf wear or an old price sticker.
Packaging and the planet
Orders leave Devon in recyclable boxes, padded with green bubble wrap and sealed with solvent-free tape. The printed catalogue uses paper from sustainably managed forests. The company also donates books to charities on a regular basis.
Delivery, returns and help
Standard UK delivery is free on orders over £25 and takes 3 to 7 working days. Next-day delivery is available, and parcels can be picked up from local ParcelShops and lockers. Undamaged books can be returned within 28 days. The Devon-based customer service team answers by phone, email or LiveChat. Schools, libraries and organisations get a discount, and the shop ships abroad too. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal.
