Read Our Story →First time using Books2Door and was very surprised how quick the delivery was. My books arrived in brand new perfect condition. There is no fault with my order and will use this company again.
Books arrived in a perfect condition, thank you. Well packed with extra stuffing so that books don't move around in the box during the transit. I look after all of my books well. I dont like dents and scuffs marks etc Therefore I greatly appreciate the fact that someone paid care to ensure books reach a customer in a perfect condition.
Fabulous! Had a couple of books from this store. I got a free book ( think it was for world book day), for my little granddaughter. Highly recommend this book store.
Absolutely fantastic! Why did I not know about this place before. Ordered a huge order and the price was even cheaper than amazon. Shall always start my book search here in future.
I am a repeat customer for Books 2 Door Limited and have always found them reliable and fantastic value. Delivery is prompt. Packaging is functional. There is always a great choice of books and they offer excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
Great service from the company. Item as described and great value for money. Sent well packed and very fast delivery. Would definitely recommend and will use again
I was a bit nervous that it might be a scam seeing the huge discounts on whole collections of books, but what a pleasant surprise! Brand new books delivered quickly, well packaged (and corners well protected!) for an amazing price. I already look forward to my next order. One minus point, the iPhone app seems to be bugging. The same account credentials used on the website do not display my former order or wishlists.
I've ordered from this website multiple times and every single time the order is super quick and easy. Books come in fantastic edition and there are so many incredible deals, discounts and rewards. I've only had one error out of all of my orders, and their customer service team were quick to help rectify the situation. I would 1000% recommend as a book lover!
I had a great experience ordering from this website. Everything was smooth and easy, from browsing to checkout. The order arrived exactly as expected and the everything was excellent. Overall, a very reliable website and a great online shopping experience. Highly recommended!
I found Book 2 Door Limited, and it was the best thing yet. The many books to choose from, and the prices are really great, I managed to get the books, I was looking for and more, for my family, at such a fantastic price. I highly recommended, Books 2 Door, for everyone who reads, you will not regret it. They provide a wonderful service, what a shop, I love it.

Are you often left hunting for the right word? Or maybe you have overused a word in your essay and need an alternative? If these sound like a regular problem for you, then it is time to invest in a dictionary or a thesaurus!
Before we get into the different variations of dictionaries and explore all the different types available, let's highlight some classic dictionaries. Starting off with Collins, English Gem Dictionary and English Gem Thesaurus, these two resources both come in mini sizes for easy transportation. There is also the classic Oxford English Dictionary which has been a reference text and is the most widely-referenced historical dictionary of the English language. Oxford English Dictionaries come in many different variations
Dictionaries for Children
Whether your little ones are preparing to start their first day at school or if you’re sending them off to University, it is always handy to have a dictionary to help with their studies. For young children, we recommend Oxford Phonics Spelling Dictionary. This little book makes for a great home and school resource. With this dictionary, it is easy to explain how 'sun' and 'Cinderella' both start with the 's' sound and how 'dance' has the same 's' sound at the end.
Other great dictionaries for young children are The Oxford First Dictionary and The Oxford Illustrated Children’s Dictionary. Both of these books are a great introduction to dictionaries, and using them in schools and at home will help further your child’s literary progression.
Standard Dictionaries
Whether you’re buying your child’s first ‘grown-up’ dictionary or you’re purchasing it for yourself, it can be overwhelming at times to know what to look for. There are so many brands, sizes and variations in prices, which makes it difficult when shopping for a dictionary. That is why we have highlighted our bestselling dictionaries to make it a little clearer for you. For a brief and comprehensive dictionary, you should check out Concise Oxford English Dictionary, great for on-the-go and studying away from home. Another fantastic pocket dictionary is the Oxford Mini Dictionary and Thesaurus. Not only does it carry essential and everyday vocabulary, but it also contains 65,000 synonyms and antonyms!
Foreign Language Dictionaries
Learning a new language is always a daunting project, especially if you are starting from scratch. Therefore, having a dictionary to hand can often help with your skill development and language progression. Here at Books2Door, we have a varied selection of different language dictionaries, including Spanish, German, Italian, Korean, Irish and Latin. As well as verbal language, we also have a fantastic book to help you learn British Sign Language, Let's Sign Dictionary: Everyday BSL for Learners.
