PEROLIBROS

When you think about your business, what are you most proud of?

We offer a large selection of good books at very affordable prices, of all genres, which we continually renew from our stock in a warehouse. We can't fit them all in the store!

We have a special section of books about Madrid, both used and new.

And we have a wide range of stationery products, since we took over from the previous business.

What is the history of your commerce?

We are a family, we have grown up among books and we are passionate about them.
We started to operate as Perolibros S.L. in 2007 online, and we have created a catalog of more than 25000 used books, from all periods and categories.
But we lacked a place to have direct contact with the customer, and that at least the one nearby could look, touch, smell, choose the paper book.
That was the original dream from the beginning and it finally came true: we found a small stationery store that was being transferred.
This has been a great challenge for us, who had never been involved in street commerce before.
And we are very proud to be getting ahead even though the never-ending crisis makes it difficult.

What is your professional experience?

Our experience is related to the world of communication, literature and journalism.
Having our own business selling used books was always a dream, just a dream.
The crisis and unemployment pushed us to take the last step of opening the physical store, with the stationery store.

How has covid 19 affected your business?

Mail order book sales were not affected too much, although they were affected by the general economic crisis brought about by the COVID, with the obvious decrease in purchasing power of most people.

We opened the physical store in 2022, when the worst was over.
