• WORLD BOOK DAY : £1 BOOK TOKENS

  Sun 26 Feb 2017

  HOW TO USE YOUR £1 BOOK TOKEN

   

  Thanks to National Book Tokens and lots of lovely book publishers and booksellers, World Book Day, in partnership with schools all over the country, has distributed more than 15 million £1 World Book Day book tokens to children.

   

  When you get your book token in school, all you need to do is to take it to your local bookseller (there’s lots of them out there – find your local participating bookshop here and swap it for one of the TEN (exclusive, new and completely free) World Book Day books!

  Or, if you’d prefer, you can use your book token to get £1 off any full price book instead!  And if you’d rather get an audio book, that’s fine too! It’s your choice, just as long as the book or audio book costs at least £2.99

  .

  Then all YOU have to do is take your book home and enjoy it.

  The World Book Day book tokens are valid from Monday 27 February–Sunday 26 March 2017.
