At Bookworld Ltd, education is the priority. This Zambian company has been providing books and stationery to the Zambian public since 1990. Bookworld's reputation has been enhanced by their involvement and experience in working with suppliers of stationery, publishers and booksellers worldwide.

Bookworld intends to expand even further, to make their educational material available all over Zambia.
