Bookworld first opened in Cairo Road, Lusaka, in 1991 and currently trades from 10 shops, on high streets, shopping centres and university campuses throughout Zambia. 

No two Bookworld's are the same. Sophisticated stock management systems ensure that each bookshop has its own unique range profile and space at the front of the bookshop to promote a choice of books picked by that branch. 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.
