About us

The Reading House is an online bookshop with a mission to become the UK’s most accessible reading marketplace. We’re passionate about spreading the joy of reading, for everyone. That starts with reading formats. As we grow and evolve, our priority is making sure you, our readers, have a wealth of choice, and can find exactly what you need. Any reader, any format.

We started out as the retail home of Ulverscroft Ltd.’s excellent range of large print and audiobooks. Ulverscroft began in 1964, inventing the concept of large print so that even more people can enjoy a good book – regardless of their level of vision.

The Reading House is now a joint venture between Ulverscroft and Firsty Group. We’re pleased to offer a wide selection of hardback and paperback large print titles as well as audiobooks in CD and MP3 CD formats. We’re only getting bigger, proud to offer audiobook downloads alongside other formats – and we won’t stop there.

Thank you for joining The Reading House community. We welcome your feedback and support, as we want to make your reading experience as smooth and entertaining as possible. Happy reading and listening.
