There's just me and I own one book. Ikea is close (3 miles), but I'd have to buy books first, elsewhere, then trek over there ... so thanks, but it's not really a winner for me.0

You could pick up 5 books really cheaply at a carboot or charity shop

You have to donate a minimum of five books and it is one £5 giftcard per customer. I went clutching ten books (ten more were in the car!) and said five were for a neighbour. She was really nice and let me have two giftcards but I don't think I shall do that again as I would hate to get anyone in trouble. Must start planning trips to go via Ikea again.0
