Website with books at bargain prices!

bananas.co.uk is an excellent site selling a range of books for great prices. I've used it every year in the run up to Xmas to get xmas pressies! Free P&P for orders over £25.

For example, last week I ordered 25 books and it cost £27, with free P&P as my order was over £25!
Books by well known authors such as Michael Morpugo, and cookery books, Usborne childrens craft books (that cost £10.99 in the shops!).

    Just spent almost £30 on books.

    Some 50p, Most £1 (10 £1 books for £7.50) and some £2 and £3.

    Some christmas presents and some for me!

    Thanks OP
  • I'm glad other people are using the bananas site and grabbing some bargains too.
    :T
    Another thing I didn't say is that they are constantly adding books. I popped on this morning and there's about 20-30 new books/sets been added since last week! Tempted to make another order!

  • Just a warning re. this site. I occasionally order books from them. Often they email you an update and some of the orders are 'cancelled'-because they run out of stock, but you still get charged the full amount.
    Has happened to me twice-they happily refund if you ring them-but you need to keep an eye on the order!
