Welcome to Beautiful Books

Welcome to the home of Beautiful Books. You can buy our books here in a variety of formats - physical books are packed up and despatched by hand, and carry a small P and P charge (just £2.50 first class post and packing in the UK, however many books you buy in one order; and just £4 for international, again, no matter how many in the order; we also give you the option of coming to see us in Soho and picking your books up yourself); downloads will come straight to your computer. Remember if you are buying audio, we record in high quality, so you will need a decent broadband connection as the files are big. You may wish to go and make a cup of tea while the download takes place. If you have been given a discount voucher, remember to add it in the box when shopping and click Add. Bear in mind that we usually have some items at special reduced prices at any one time, so keep an eye out for a bargain. We also give away free things, so check out the Free Downloads section in Books. Do sign up to become a Beautiful member, and we will send you free/interesting things every so often, plus you can add your comments in the Beautiful Conversations. And do come along to our Beautiful Happenings - we would love to meet you. If you have a trade question, such as bookshop orders or foreign rights, then please check the Contact details. If you are looking to submit proposals, take a quick look at our Submissions advice at the foot of the page. Any other problems or joys, or joys or problems, contact us at office@beautiful-books.co.uk.
