About Bookworld Zambia

With a mission to be Zambia’s leading book and stationery seller, Bookworld provides customers with the widest choice, great value and expert advice from a passionate team. Bookworld aims to interest and excite its customers and continually inspire people to read and engage in books. Their reputation is built upon the enthusiasm of its 150 staff members. Their dedication is manifested by their ability to find titles that the customer wants. The company strives to create places where people who are interested in books can go to browse, a place that encourages new readers to expand horizons and that is home to booksellers that are passionate about the books that they sell. An averagely sized Bookworld merchandises a range of around 10,000 individual titles in their largest store. Bookworld’s flagship shop is based in the Manda Hill Shopping Centre. With sections concentrating on fiction, academic genres and children’s books (among many other subjects) it is a great resource for book lovers everywhere. The company is also Zambia’s biggest academic book specialist. It has shops based in two of the University of Zambia’s campuses. The Ridgeway branch, in particular, specialises in medical books only. This creates an accessible environment for Zambia’s next educated generation. Every year a representative from the Library of Congress visits Bookworld to buy any new books published in Zambia. A proud promoter of Zambian writers and publishers, Bookworld actively encourages and supports up and coming homegrown talent. Staying true to its identity, it is a longstanding member of the Booksellers Association of Zambia (BAZ). ’.
