Sending us your school book list
What to include when you send a list, how we price it, and how the books reach you.

Every term begins the same way: a printed sheet from school, a long list of titles, and a search from shop to shop. You can hand that search to us.
Three ways to send it
- Type it into the form on our school lists page.
- Send a photo on WhatsApp. A clear picture of the printed list is enough.
- Bring it to the counter at Plot 4 Colville Street, opposite Christ the King Church.
What helps us get it right
- The school and class, so we can match the edition the teacher expects.
- The author and publisher where the list gives them. Two books can share a title.
- How many copies, if you are buying for more than one child.
If a photo is blurred or cut off at the edge, we will ask you to send it again rather than guess.
What happens next
We check the shelves and come back to you by phone or WhatsApp with what we have, the price of each book, and anything we need to order in. Nothing is charged until you agree.
When you are ready, collect the books at the counter for free, or have them delivered. The whole list travels as one order, so you pay one delivery fee. The fees for each town are on our delivery page.
A book we do not have
Some titles come from small publishers and are hard to find. If we do not have one, we tell you, and you can ask us to find it.
