    Thanks for this. Sadly the lucky dips seem to have disappeared. Does anyone know if the lucky dips are run on a regular basis?

    I've seen lucky dips a few times. Also try checking out the book ends on their site - they have increadibly cheap end of line books there.

    Out of last catalogue I bought Coast bbc series, the cricket book, the 2006 guiness book of records and 10 ten of everything 2006 I had a code for free postage so made some great savings over £40 I think, great people the book people been using them for years
    :p
  • It's well worth checking out!!

    I've been waiting for each new catalogue as I wanted the Little Miss series for my daughter (got Mr Men complete series a couple of years ago for my son) and it's never been in their catalogue. Went on line to look at something else and lo and behold, 1st page of the relevant section was just what I wanted!!!! She now has her birthday present ready for January!!

    Cost me a 'fortune' though as ended up ordering a Thomas the Tank Engine Series for my son, a cook book, 2 Raising children books (bargain at £4.99 for the 2)! All sorts really, but got my free christmas wrapping set so all in all a result for just over £50!!!!
