Our story
From a single shelf to your favourite bookshop.
FreshReads didn't start with a warehouse or a marketing budget. It started with a box of brand-new books, a laptop, and a stubborn belief that new books shouldn't cost a fortune.
We began the way a lot of good things do — small. Listing brand-new books online one title at a time, and obsessing over the details most sellers skip: is it genuinely new, is it packed so it arrives perfect, did it ship the same day the order came in?
Buyers noticed. Since 2022, across 100,000+ orders, that care added up to something we're proud of — a 99.4% positive feedback rate and a top-rated seller reputation, plus a steady stream of messages that all said versions of the same thing: brand-new as promised, better prices than the big retailers, and shipped fast. As one buyer put it, 'first class in every way.'
FreshReads is those years, given a proper home. Same promise, more books, and a shop built entirely around what buyers told us they loved: every title brand-new and unread, prices that undercut the high street, packaging that actually protects, and dispatch within 48 hours. From the year's biggest bestsellers to textbooks, self-help, and hard-to-find technical titles, we track down great books and pass the savings straight to you.
We're still a small, book-obsessed team, and we still read every message that lands in our inbox. Whether it's a single novel or a bulk order for your shelf, our job hasn't changed since that first box of books — get brand-new books into your hands quickly, affordably, and with zero fuss.
