Halfpriced Books, the leading books supplier in Kenya was started with a motive to give the readers access to the global books market. The company endeavors to provide these books at an affordable price. We often survey our readers to find out the titles they would be interested in and use that data when sourcing books from our suppliers.

“Bookory are such joy ... to be cherished, handled with pleasure, read and reread and handed down to the next generation”

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable.

If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet.
