Books2Door Discount Codes & Vouchers

Books2Door is a Leicester-based bookseller that sells brand-new children's books and fiction series in multi-book box sets rather than one title at a time.

Box sets are the whole proposition

The shop is organised by reading age, from babies and toddlers through the five-to-seven and seven-to-nine bands up to nine-to-twelve and young adult. Within each band the listings are mostly collections: a complete series in a slipcase, or a themed bundle of ten, twenty or more paperbacks. Familiar names run through the catalogue, from Roald Dahl and Winnie-the-Pooh to Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Harry Potter, alongside adult fiction and non-fiction sets. The books are new rather than second-hand, and the low unit price comes from buying complete collections instead of single copies.

Check what is in the set before you buy it

A box set is only a bargain if the household does not already own half of it. Open the listing and read the title list, because collections of the same series are sold in several different combinations and the numbering does not always start at book one. Formats matter too: most sets are paperback, and the physical size of a twenty-book collection is easy to underestimate when you are looking at a single photograph. For a reluctant reader, a large set can be daunting rather than motivating, so a shorter collection is often the better first purchase.

Delivery, dispatch and the subscription

Orders are dispatched quickly, with same-day dispatch on orders placed before the afternoon cut-off and Royal Mail tracking supplied. Free UK delivery kicks in above an order threshold, which is easy to reach with a single box set. There is also an annual membership that covers delivery across the year, and it is worth the fee only if you order several times a year rather than once at Christmas.

Ordering for a classroom or a reading corner

Schools are served through a dedicated ordering route that accepts purchase orders and payment by BACS or cheque on account terms, which matters when a school budget cannot go through a card at checkout. For a class library, buying a few short sets across different reading ages usually works better than one long series, since it gives children somewhere to move next when a book does not hold them.
