    I don't think anyone would ever contemplate paying the RRP, but I'm just gobsmacked that so many are hung up on the quoted RRP. If you think 10 books alone amount to an RRP of £49.90 and then add on the party banners, balloons, party bags, activity books, that soon totals up - but in reality, none of it would ever be sold for this price.

    That's the thing though if you look at the RRP for most books, especially those from the Book People, it would be highly unlikely that anyone would pay those over inflated prices.

    So for me, it's not about the RRP, it's about having a bit of common sense about the true value of what you're buying and the actual price you pay - that's the true saving.

    There is no doubt these boxes are amazing value.

    You get 2 different books - 5 of each one.

    BTW - when I was on their site earlier I noticed that these were OOS.
