Thanks for this, just ordered 12 books some for me some for christmas presents, £99.50 total for £18.75.....excellent....ADOPT DONT SHOP......🐕🐕🐕🐕0

Just placed my 3rd order for Christmas presents after getting some ideas from the in-laws today - all in the glitch too. Got the Grow Your Own Veg and Baby Sign Language x 2 for £7.50. Should have been £25.
By the way, all of the books in the wedding and baby section are 50% off, so all covered by the glitch.0 -
This is a fantastic Grabbit. Just ordered £30 worth of books, mainly gardening that would have cost £37 inc p&p all for £5 :j0

Just ordered £60 worth of books for £22.50. Nine books in total. Not as huge a saving as some but I included lots of the books that were originally £7.50 and used the 3 for 2 to include books that weren't 50% off to make sure I was giving gifts people would be happy with. Simply wasn't enough choice to suit all of the family in the 50% off section!
Still works out as less than £2.50 per book!!and I had the free delivery so I'm not complaining. :j

£70 down to £26... not bad at all, thanks OP! Would have got better deal if I stuck to the 50 percenters but good nontheless0

I think this glitch may have finished - looks like they've taken the 50% off (surprised it's taken them so long though!!
Just hoping they honour my order from yesterday! Thank you op x0 -
yeah think glitch has been sussed!!
No half price books, only 3 for 2, well done to all who managed to get some!! Just hope they honer it!!!!:j0 -
I've had confirmation that two of my three orders have been posted and I've only been charged the glitch price so it looks like they are honouring it. Fingers crossed for the third order.0

Mine haven't been despatched yet, but I'd be surprised if M&S don't honour all the orders.0
