The Book People- good site?

Options
I have been hoping to buy my nieces the Natural History Book but it's so expensive (£30!).

However, have just found it for £14.99 on a website called The Book People- who also do cashback.

Has anyone had any experience with them? Worth risking?

Guess I just think it's too good to be true!

Thanks,

Kaz

    Used them for a fair while now and to be honest never had any issues with them at all.

  • I have used the Book People and had no problems. Good prices, quick delivery. I would use them again.
  • I've used them before and no problems.
    There's no sense crying over every mistake.
    You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

    brill site, get most of my books there
  • Don't worry this is fab site for bargain price books! :money:
    I have used this for years and try to avoid as I always end up spend far too much there! :p

    If you look on the discount vouchers there is usually free delivery codes around - think the current one is SNOWBALL but not 100% sure on that.
    Happy shopping!

    I love MSE- what a quick response! Thank you everyone!

    Brilliant! What a find then! I used to have a natural history book growing up and I loved it- covered dinosaurs through to modern day. Am possibly more excited for me than for the girls but hopefully they'll enjoy it as much as i did mine!

    After i posted, i also checked out the comments on TCB and all seem pretty positive so that's reassuring too.

    Thanks guys!

    Yeah, they're brilliant! Go ahead and order with confidence.
  • Agree with all the others The Book People are the best site for books and at great prices too. Have used them for years without any problems. Though recently a book I ordered as a gift arrived with a bend down the front cover. After a quick call they sent out a replacement and I got to keep the other-a free gift for me! That's what I call excellent customer service.
    As the the last poster said -order with confidence:j
  • I have used them on many occasions - real bargains to be had. Quick delivery too!
