A few things to know.
A valid £1 token can be exchanged for a special £1 World Book Day book, subject to availability, or used towards an eligible full-price book under the campaign’s terms.
The 2027 book selection is already available to browse. The official token page currently refers to 2026, so check the campaign year and release and redemption dates before planning your visit. Tokens are generally used in participating shops rather than online.
Choose the token and information for your region. The official website has separate guidance for the UK and Ireland.
