The Pickabook Story

The shopping at work experience has been commonplace throughout the country for over 30 years. The Book People, along with a few minor operators, were well-loved in practically every school and office the length and breadth of the country. Sadly they are no longer around along with most of their contemporaries.

Pickabook, The bookshop in a box was created over two years ago when it became apparent that workplace employees preferred to buy their books there and then without the frustration of having to wait a week for their order to be delivered. We constructed hundreds of boxes and filled them with terrific books and duly delivered them to schools, offices, factories and almost every other workplace imaginable throughout the Yorkshire region.

The feedback and support from our happy customers has been overwhelming with many asking from where they can buy more books. We now find ourselves proudly unveiling our new website which features hundreds of new titles. Of course, we still deliver our trusty boxes to our existing customers and if you would like a box dropping off at your workplace then please get in touch. In the meantime please enjoy browsing through our books. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any views and requests.
