The Book People Deals & Sales

What is The Book People?

The Book People was founded in 1988 by book aficionados Ted Smart and Seni Glaster on the principle of making books available and affordable to everyone. The company is a bookseller based in Godalming, Surrey, UK. The extensive ranges of books found at Book People’s award-winning website are hand-picked favourites. They also sell their products which include gifts, toys and stationary through mail-order catalogue, and in workplaces and schools via a nationwide network of Book People Local distributors.

The company started doing business visiting offices around the area of Guildford, Surrey and by 1990; there were already 140 Book People Local distributors across the UK visiting workplaces such as banks, hospitals, schools and even bakeries. And because of high demand, Book People launched their mail-order catalogue to provide their loyal customers a way to conveniently shop their range of hand-picked books. In 1998, their easy-to-use online shop was launched furthering the growth in the number of their customers.

Book People just recently expanded their product offerings beyond books by offering toys, gifts and stationary. As part of their growth and expansion, the company has even acquired a number of brands such as use Children’s Books and Index Books.
