Welcome to the largest and longest trading Polish bookshop online in the UK offering over 250,000 titles covering a multitude of topics and genres. Founded in 2006 by freshly arrived book lover, Pascal Wawrzyniak, who is happily running the bookshop – both hands on - ever since. The book shop has become over the years very well-known and popular within Polish community living in the UK. We are the only Polish bookshop that keeps its warehouse in the UK- we trade from the UK and our orders are being posted from the UK, which allow us to keep our attractive prices and posting fees, even in those challenging Brexit reality.
Our mission
Ksiazka.uk is offering a fantastic new and fresh online sales platform for Polish books, which can be now easily and affordably accessible to every Pole living in the UK.
Nelson Mandela said that “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” – and the same goes with the reading. There is nothing compared to a book in our mother tongue. We can learn other languages and assimilate with our new environment but the words of the heart are always going to be spoken, or thought, in our mother tongue. That is certainly why already thousands of our Customers followed us over the years, to be connected with their language and still keep and grow further their identity. Thank you all for being with us and for supporting us over the years. We are here for you- always ready to help, advise or answer your questions. Our mission is to offer a reach range of Polish literature – always in an accessible price. We want to enable the biggest number of Poles living in the UK to keep their roots and identity and savour their traditional and new lectures in their mother tongue. Therefore, we are keeping our terms of trade and prices transparent and easy to calculate- keeping the lowest posting fees possible, offering a free posting for bigger orders and strongly aspiring to provide the best service possible for the best price.
Our social involvement
Apart from a service to a large number of our individual Clients, our aim is to work in partnership with Polish organisations in the UK. We have supported over the years many social events and undertakings related to the Polish culture all over the UK and we are open to new endeavours and cooperation.
Our environmental responsibility
Finally, we put a lot of effort and research to become more and more environmentally responsible. We are committed to limit the number of orders sent in multiple packets to limit the impact of our couriers on the environment. We use recyclable paper based packaging and filling and also we introduced paper, biodegradable, eco-friendly sallow tape. In that spirit, we are also planning on launching in the future an outlet platform where we could sell the books, games and other products that got partially damaged or cannot be sold in our shop for other reasons- to be even more eco-friendly.
Our future
We are launching this new website after over a decade of a happy and successful trading here in the UK. Along with the latest and the best website solutions, we are introducing new range of products expanding our offer with stationary, toys, and new selection of so highly popular board games.
