in Shop but don't drop
Does anyone buy from this company? The books seem very cheap and would make good Christmas presents.

Are they the standard editions of the book and is the delivery good?

    I bought 5 lots of books for them earlier this year, really pleased and they make great gifts. They regularly have free delivery and you can get cashback through TCB.

    Recommended. I havent used for a while but as well as providing good quality items at excellent prices they were lovely to talk to when I rang up to suggest that the couriers they used should be dissuaded from lobbing the boxes over ones back fence. I should imagine this practice is definitely not company policy.

    Yes I buy from them all the time, they are excellent value and very good quick delivery. Could not fault them at all, and I have been using them for well over 10 years now.

    They are brilliant and great service. Their collections are amazing for the price that they sell them for. I just ordered a few weeks back 80 odd quids worth for 58 quid by using 30 per cent discount code and when they accidently charged me for something they offered as a free gift, phoned them up they were very sorry and refunded me within a day for the amount they should not of charged me for. They are great!

    They look like the standard editions - but you may find some include a mention inside that it's a Book People edition.
