the Bookpeople, Red house books and School link are all related companies - all excellent - you buy which-ever books you want with no tie in like book clubs.

I would recommend one of their 10 book collections rather than the lucky dip
You get 10 books for £9.99 (so just under £1 each), but you know exactly what books you are getting - and they are quality main stream books. They all do different selections based on the publishing house and there are quite a few to choose from. Great for party favours.

Type 10 into the search engine to come up with their current stock. School link currently have the best selection with about 7 different 10 book collections to choose from. Here are a few of them

Thanks for these Mesopotania, although I notice a lot of the books are the ones which are on sale at my local BookWorld for 99p. Handy of you don't have one near you though.

Cheers

i received this morning (after ordering only on friday) my lucky dip for under 5... i'm impressed... good selection and nice books...my DD is 3 1/2 and loves books... there are 3 books for younger than her but they will make nice presents for lil ones around us...

I received my under 5 books this morning, a fantastic selection bar the scoubidoo book. DS will be getting a couple for his birthday and christmas and the colouring books will be going to other relatives!!! Bargain!!

Got my bundle for the under 5's today - excellent value

The Hungry Mouse - 3D story book
Hamish the Highland Cow - Natalie Russell
The Missing Cat - Ted Smart
Peter Rabbit Story time volume 4
Board nursery rhyme book
The great pet sale - Mick Inkpen
Bill and the new school
2 x colouring books - Barbie princess and Whinnie the Pooh

and of course the not so appropriate - You can scoubidou which is not so good for my 2 year old as involves making things with small bits of plastic.

Overall :j :j :j I am very happy, well spotted.

For the unsuitable books, there's always Amazon :-)

It's a good ideal but I had a look and there were something like 160 of the RIchard and Judy wine guide already for sale.

I'm afraid mine are going to the charity shop after checking ebay and Amazon, but I'm not unhappy as we got a couple we could use.

I have to say, on reflection, and a quick flick through my adult non-fiction, the selection is interesting - and yes the crop circle book is fascinating!

Aytch your selection was better than mine, oh well win some lose some............enjoy the crop circle book:p not that I'm jealous!

I think the clue is in the title ... LUCKY dip!

Annie is right, some you win, some you loose, the luck is in the draw.

I was highly impressed with my lucky dips. Only 2 out of 20 that I cant give as pressies. I love the Book People.
