Just posted about this on the old thread and then noticed it was in the "It's Gone..." section of the board.

Book People now have these in stock again for £15.99, really pleased as I've been looking out for them for ages.

Remember Quidco! Couldn't see a free delivery code but I got free delivery anyway as I ordered the nursery books collection too.

    Thanks for this. Bought for random presents for my daughter. I loved these books growing up!
  • Noticed they also have 42 rainbow magic books for £20. We have paid £5.99 each for these before so that's a fantastic saving. DD already has some of them but we can always give the spares as presents.

    Bought the rainbow fairy books and forgot Quidco!
  • Anyone got a link to any free delivery codes?
    Thankyou

    Sorry can't help with the delivery code. I made an order yesterday and as it was over £25 got free delivery. I've previously got the Rainbow Magic books for DD Christmas (£18, had a 10% voucher sadly expired now plus topcashback). Bought DS the Roald Dahl books ages ago.

    This time I bought the new Jeffrey Deaver, "The Burning Wire", for me. In Tesco etc could only find this for £9, but TBP had it for £4.99. Word of warning the website only showed this at £10, and to get the special price you had to put in the special catalogue code and order direct from the catalogue. I also got some Christmas presents and wrapping paper so was very pleased.

    We have TBP leave books at work occassionally - I'd recommend checking the website before buying from them as sometimes the books are cheaper on-line.

    I don't think there are any at the moment - but it's free delivery over £25 so could you find anything else that could be put away for presents throughout next year?

    I think this is a bargain:

    Eat Me cupcakes book

    £4.99, it's £7.93 on Amazon and that's the cheapest I've seen it outside of TBP. It's a beautiful book. Also if you buy two books from the Food and Drink category you can get Levi Roots' book for £2.50. So how about Jamie's America for £5 or Gordon Ramsey's Great Escape for £5?
  • Thanks for this, an excellent buy, have ordered for my son for Christmas :beer:

    Also bought a great value set of Ian Rankin books, so got free delivery, here if anyone is interested:

    You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that :p

    Theres also a code for 15% off spends over £30 if you're buying more than just this set. I'll find the discount thread and pop it on if its not there already.

    Thanks, OP. I've ordered the set so I can give them out as an alternative to party bags at my son's birthday party.
