About Our Used Books

Thanks for shopping with us! Were a social enterprise based in Ouyen Victoria processing books that would have had their knowledge gone to waste,

Images & Editions

Our listing images are stock photos and our descriptions come from the ISBN database, so the cover you see may differ from the book you receive. Covers, editions, printings, and publishers can vary.

Want a photo of the actual book, or need a specific cover, edition, or printing?

Just get in touch before you buy and our team will be happy to help send you a photo.

What “Used” Means

Since these books have had a previous life, here are some things you might find:

• Colouring books may already be coloured in
• Textbooks may have answers filled in, plus highlighting, notes, or underlining
• Workbooks may have writing inside
• Access codes, download codes, CDs, DVDs, or other online content are usually missing or already used
• Any toys, inserts, maps, cards, batteries, or bonus items that originally came with a book are usually not included
• Pages may be folded, marked, or show normal signs of use
• Writing, highlighting, or markings
• Folded pages or minor wear
• A warehouse or inventory sticker on the spine
• Original retailer stickers (we leave these on)
• Library stickers

If you're after a book for something other than reading – like colouring, study use, collecting, gifting, a specific cover, bonus items, or digital access – a used copy might not be the best fit.

Our Process

We buy books by the pallet and scan thousands at a time, which means we're not able to photograph or individually inspect every single one. If you'd like us to take a closer look at a particular book, just ask!

Good to Know Before You Buy

When you order, you're acknowledging that:

• The book is used
• You're happy with the condition and details described above
• The stock image and description may not exactly match the item you receive

Thanks for supporting Oak Books and helping give books a second life!
