    In my local store it is ones that are 'less popular' than those in the charts, and most of them are hardly reduced by much at all, certainly no decent ones under £10, most are about £18-£25 with just a few pounds off. will keep checking though.
    Also, there is a new 20% voucher being given out for use from 22/11 for 1 week.

    WH Smith Edinburgh (Camerontoll):

    Ok, I went for it, and tried my damndest to maximise the savings, whilst still getting the hardbacked books I actually wanted. Here's what I got:


    An idiot abroad - £16.99 with £5 off sticker (£11.99) plus this was on buy one get one half price
    Mini Shopaholic (Sophie Kinsella's new one) - £18.99 with £5 off sticker (£13.99) plus this was on buy one get one half price

    I then used my £5 off any £10 book voucher.

    Total: £14.98 to pay, and they gave me a £10 WH Smith gift card.


    THEN I chanced my luck and went back with two more:

    Surface Detail (Ian M Banks) £18.99 with £5 off sticker (£13.99), plus the B1G1HP deal
    Insurrection (Robyn Young) £17.99 with £5 off sticker (£12.99), plus the B1G1HP deal.

    I then used another of my £5 off any £10 book vouchers.

    Total: £15.48, and another £10 Wh Smith gift card handed to me.


    I then (lol) went to the kids annuals. Those are on Buy 1 get 1 for £1. So £8.99 total. I bought 4, making it £18. Used a £5 off £12 kids books voucher, making those £12.98. Then I used one of the 'free' £10 gift cards and had just under £3 to pay.


    Summary:
    Bought: Surface Detail, Insurrection, An idiot abroad, Mini Shopaholic, plus 4 2011 annuals (Beano, Weird Science, Playhouse Disney & Jacqueline Wilson).
    Paid: £33.44.

    So I paid £33.44 (£43.44 in total, including using one £10 giftcard) for 8 books, and still have one £10 gift card left!


    *Warning* - the B1G1HP wasn't being recognised at the tills, I had to query it and they ended up putting it through as a refund. My receipt says: "*Item return* BOGOHP DUMMY REASON - MINT - £6.00"

    but that we are powerful beyond measure". :o
