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, will be distributing more than 15 million £1 World Book Day book tokens to children and young people (that’s almost one for every child/young person under 18 in the UK and Ireland).

When you get your book token, all you need to do is to take it to your local bookseller (there are 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. Alternatively you can put it towards one of the FIVE fantastic full-length books for teens priced at only £2.50 each at participating stores (that’s ONLY £1.50 with your £1 book token).

Or, if you’d prefer, you can use your book token to get £1 off any full price book instead. (If you’re in Ireland it’s €1.50 off). And if you’d rather get an audiobook, that’s fine too! It’s your choice, just as long as the book or audiobook costs at least £2.99 (or €3.99 in Ireland).

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

The World Book Day book tokens are valid from Monday 26 February–Sunday 25 March 2018.
