    You can usually find some cheap ones on amazon, red house, book people, or in the shop 'the works', or have a look at charity shops or your local library as they sell off books too, check out your local sure start centre as the book people come round them and you can order quite cheap books. Also post a wanted on your local freecycle, I got given a few carrier bags full of baby books from a very kind freecycler.

    Books FOR babies or books ABOUt babies?

    Either way, I get mine from Freecycle and the Oxfam bookshop.

    The book People are good, you might find some in The Works.
    Recommend Freecycle too.

    book people and red house are both really great. Just order what ever and when ever you want. I would suggest you register online or phone and get regular updates of their latest offers. You can by book bundles of the same range (e.g full set of Mr Men or Little Miss or Noddy etc) and only pay under £1 a book!!!

    Hi, if you mean books for babies i get mine from car boot sales. They cost a fraction of the price, i only buy ones in good condition and if my baby tears them i don't mind so much.

    check your local library, libraries sometimes sell them if they are slightly damaged or have pen marks, i often buy mine for 10p, 20p each and they are pretty good condition on the whole.

    You will get baby books from the BookStart in your area. You HV should bring you a bag with a couple of books at your 6 month visit. You can also get this from your library when you join your baby (no matter how young).
