Excellent care taken with my books
I’m not usually someone who leaves reviews, but I couldn’t resist leaving one for Postscript Books. The care they take with their books really shows, my order was carefully wrapped to prevent any damage. I was very impressed with the condition the books arrived in, especially as I take great care of my books myself. Thank you so much, and I highly recommend Postscript Books.

Excellent - but badly let down by the Evri delivery (hence only 4 stars). Book was left on the doorstep when it could have been posted through the letterbox

Kind regards,

Really cool selection of books, bought a calendar specifically which was extremely competitively priced compared to other stores. Next day delivery was honoured and arrived well packed, would recommend

Ordered Paul Nash calendar
Ordered Paul Nash calendar. Images of paintings are blown up to the point of detail being blurry, and colour washed out. Very disappointed.

Don’t use Evri
Don’t use Evri. They delivered to the wrong address and did nothing about it. I recognised the photo of where it was left and retrieved it myself.

I have found them to e prompt to deal with orders. I now order on a Monday to avoid Sunday deliveries. Packaging is robust and has always prevented damage.
The range of subjects is impressive. The range of good gifts for children of sixty to great grandchildren of five has been so helpful.
