WORLD BOOK DAY BOOKS 2027 - CALLING SCHOOLS

The World Book Day Books for 2027 were announced last month, and a couple of weeks back, we contacted all schools we work with to outline details of our World Book Day offer.

Remember, when you use us for book supply, not only does your school get a significant discount on orders, you also get free supply of World Book Day Books! And that's on top of personal advice and recommendations!

If you haven't yet completed the form, the deadline to return to us is October 24th.
