You can get the equivalent of 100% commission with Roving Books - but we don't rip off the kids to do it.
 
When you get 50% or more commission from a bookfair, everyone is obviously paying too much for cheap books, and the company selling them is making a handsome profit.
 
By contrast, if we can buy a really good quality book and sell it for 99p then that's what we do, so the least well-off child has a chance of going home with a good book.
 
We don't give a huge commission, but if you run the Xybacard scheme it can reach 25%. If the cover price of a book you could use in class is £3.99, and you can buy it from us at 99p, then how much is your commission worth?
 
We don't think you'd fail your SATS by answering 100%.
 
We have a big selection of good quality bargain books - at least as many to choose from as you might see at a conventional bookfair. Then we have about another 2000 on top of the bargains, that we sell at cover price. Of course if you're using a Xybacard then every book you buy is effectively reduced by 10%, even bargains.
 
If you still think you get a better deal from a conventional bookfair go ahead and book them. But if you'd like to honestly know the real price of what you and your kids are buying then call Roving Books on 01455-822192 or email us
