    Are you allowed to send two copies of each token in?
    Otherwise with 27 tokens & 2 needed per book, how do you claim 25 books?

    Maybe they are printing 2 tokens or more per day?

    If it's the same as the Mirror's offer last year for Ladybird books, they'll be paperbacks and not the traditional Ladybird board-backed books.

    It wasn't a problem for me, but some people were quite annoyed by this, so thought I'd just point out the possibility that it might be the same this year.

    I'd say they are paperback this year too as there's a picture on the website of a mother and daughter reading from a paperback book.

    Could anyone see how much the p&p will be? i couldnt see any information on the price of it.

    The books were great last year I was really pleased. The only thing I was disappointed with was I thought if I collected every token I would be able to get all 25 books but you needed 2 tokens per book so I needed to buy more papers per day. My fault for not reading instructions properly.
  • Mariagti - I havent a clue exactly but I collected last year ad it was in no way expensive HTH

    You can collect sufficient tokens for 25 books by buying multiple copies of the newspaper each day, or asking friends & relatives to give you their tokens.

    One thing I'd say to anybody new to this deal is be prepared for a long wait for the books, I seem to remember they took months to be delivered last time.
