What if I damage a rental?
Fair wear is fine. If a book comes back unreadable we charge the pre-loved price, shown before you rent.
Can I buy a book I am renting?
Yes. Any rental can convert to a purchase and your rental fees come off the price.
How fast is delivery?
Two to four working days to most South African addresses, with tracking.
