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.

View full detailsHistory is not just another subject in school. History is for those intrigued by the evolution of the human race. Think of history this way—all the iconic events and defining moments in time that have led us to today as a civilisation make history. Events that have been significant in human evolution are what make history. If it wasn’t for history, we wouldn’t know where we came from. It is through history books that we learn how our forefathers lived and how we got to where we did. Bet you are already interested, when you think of history like that.
Here are some of our favourite history books to read with your child. It is important that you stir a curiosity in their young minds about the stories of the past so they don’t dismiss history and reduce it to boring dates and names. To help you do just that, we at Books2Door have curated a very special history books collection that packs a punch of saucy tales from the various historic periods in time, across many civilisations. Here are some of the best history books that you must add to your child’s home library if you want to raise them up to love history.
DK Eyewitness Children’s Collection 8 Books Set for children aged 9-14 is a lesson in history that combines fun and learning. The books allow you and your kid to take a trip back in time to the eras of the Romans, the Tudors and the Ancient Egyptians in this must-have historical collection of books.
This is not history as your kid has learnt it in school. This history book set is an engaging insight into the world’s richest civilisations. Through these books your child will visit a Roman bath-house, explore the Persian empire, find their way through a Victorian maze and witness the fall of the Berlin Wall. The whole of human history is brought to life for children in this DK Eyewitness Children’s collection of 8 spectacular books on various historic civilisations.
Usborne Beginners History 10 Books Collection Box Set for children aged 9 and up is yet another way to get your child interested in world history. With this collection set your child can fit a world of information into their pockets and brains. Curious minds can explore different ancient civilisations, statistics, cool pictures, and incredible facts about ancient history. Did you know that over 50,000 people could fit into the Colosseum at one time? Or that Romans used public baths and used olive oil instead of soap? Kids can read up about all of this and all the information they ever needed to know about ancient Rome - Vikings, gladiators, baths, battles, and more!
Horrible Histories Blood Curdling 20 Books Collection By Terry Deary This collection would remain incomplete without the Horrible Histories book series that has essentially redefined how history is read and taught to children. Whilst the history taught in school is all about the kings, the kingdoms and the rich and the powerful. In Terry Deary’s Horrible Histories; history is all about overturning the hierarchy and his heroes are always the little people and not those in power. This makes the Horrible Histories books funny and yet your child will learn at the same time. The aim of the books is to educate but also entertain. The books are filled with silly jokes, trivia and humorous stories, which makes the facts much more memorable.
