Customer reviews

I have purchased a few books now from Babel Books, and cannot recommend them highly enough. The range of second hand books is amazing, even those which are difficult to find elsewhere. I have been pleasantly surprised with the condition of the books as well; every one of them has been exceeded my expectations.
The customer service is very personal, and it feels good to be supporting a local business rather than a large international corporation.
Thank you, Babel Books!

I thought when my son set me the task to find a series of books in french that I would have to order them from overseas. I was pleasantly surprised to find this Victorian based store where I was able to purchase the 5 books (plus postage), for less than the international freight costs. Their condition is amazing. Turns out ‘very good’ means the book has just lost its brand new crispness, while “good” gives you a book that has been read a couple of times. Great communication and quick dispatching of my books meant my experience was faultless. I would recommend Babel to anyone who is looking for, not only foreign print books, but a business who supports our environment by creating a circular economy. Thank you Sabine and your staff.

The service and care that was given was excellent.
Wonderful to find a new source of 2nd handbooks, and to have access to wonderful publications that are now out of print. Such great service, very prompt delivery and great care in packaging and great communication. Many thanks.

Very pleased that we can find french books, it makes french more accessible to our littles. This is my second order and I look forward to our next order. The books arrived quickly both times.

Pleasantly surprised to find my book available and at modest price and postage. It arrived promptly, in good condition + sturdy packaging. A handwritten “thank you” – in ink! – on the receipt. Je suis heureuse. Merci!
