'Read the Write Book' is a fantastic business that supports readers, writers and book lovers across every genre. The on-line book shop is a terrific way to find your next favourite book or author. An added bonus is that 'Read the Write Book' supports self-published authors (like me) too. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Books were delivered quickly with a lot of care taken in the packing! The package looked lovely even with a bookmark, discount code, and hand written letter by Kylie! Will definitely order again!

I found this place whilst looking for a particular set of books for my daughter. What an absolute gem of a place! Kylie went well above and beyond to not only find the books I was after, but she gave recommendations on what other books she thought my daughter might like and she was spot on (I had recently bought her a book from a store after the store's recommendation, that turned out to be years above her reading level). The books were all in way better condition than I had expected (most literally look new), and the ones that were used still looked in great condition but she had advised me they were used - she was very honest. She did everything she could to get the box all the way across Aust in time for Xmas and they arrived the week prior so I wasn't stressed about those gifts not arriving. Even the packaging represented how much care she puts into her store - the books all bound to protect them, little cards and a handwritten note plus 2 bookmarks for my girls. Originally I was looking at paying over $40 for the 4 books but for only $60 I got 2 sets of those books (1 set for her best friend) plus a mountain of other books she recommended - some boxed sets that I think are brand new. I can't recommend this store highly enough and it's absolutely going to be my go-to for all books in the future.

Excellent service with prompt arrival of pre-loved book in perfect condition. Kylie also filled the parcel with beautiful little inspirational cards and leaflets as well as a hand-written letter of appreciation! She uses environmentally sensitive packaging that is recyclable and minimises plastic.

My partner purchased some books from Kylie that I have been searching for since my childhood. Thanks to Kylie's business I am able to relive those memories. The amount of effort she put into the shipment and packaging was so heartfelt, she included a handwritten note, a beautiful bookmark and fridge magnet, a piece of her incredible work, among other lovely things. Kylie was also super friendly and helpful in our communications.

Particularly the handwritten notes she sends, just wonderful. The website is easy to navigate and books are very well priced. I think her idea - Read the Write Book is marvellous. She has my total support.
