They also have an offer where if you buy 10 of their £1 books you only pay £7.50 or if you buy 10 of their £2 books you only pay £16. I've not been able to find a way of listing all £1 books or all £2 books so the easiest way is to list all books by price and check that way.

Nice to Raj Persaud's books reduced - he is the plagiarist who copied loads of people's research. I did buy a book by him once - completely pants, just quoted others books at length. I am surprised these haven't been pulped.

Good spot though, as Bananas are part of Red house/Book People so very reliable and good customer service.

I was thinking the same thing about Raj Persaud but good shout OP.

I'm guessing you're more of a popular science reader than a reader of actual scientific works. These are definitely more in the later camp with numerous references to scientific works to back up the points he makes - absolutely common in proper scientific writing.

Plagiarists tend not to cite the original sources!

He's just a lazy writer. He just re-presents the research of others in an easy to read way, adding nothing new. I think wholesale re-wording of the work of others without credit is plagiarism, though, surely? He has nothing original to say and no insights to offer. 'Scientific works' they certainly aren't.

The General Medical Council seem to agree as they suspended him for 3 months because:

"...your actions were dishonest in accordance with the accepted definition of dishonesty in these proceedings. The panel has determined that your actions, in plagiarising the work of others, were liable to bring the profession into disrepute."[
