Huge reductions on chidrens books in The Book People sale

Apologies if this has already been posted. I have searched but couldn't find it anywhere.

The Book People have some huge reductions on books in their January sale. I've just placed an order for some childrens books which included;

A pack of 10 Fairy Charm books (suitable for age 8+)
paid £5.00, RRP is £39.90!!

A pack of 2 Usborne activity books; How to draw Princesses & Ballerinas, How to Draw Fairies & Mermaids.
Priced at £2.00, RRP is £9.98.
These are fantastic books which my daughters have already, at this price though it seemed worth buying a few to use as birthday presents for friends.

The Finn Family Moomintroll Series of 6 books (again suitable for age 8+) is priced at £4.00. RRP is £29.94.

The site is offering free delivery (normally £3.50), if you spend over £25. There seems to be some kind of error with this though as the total cost of the books I placed in my basket came to £26.98. However, although the postage cost was put through as zero, I also got a further £3.50 reduction on my order and have paid just £23.48 in total!

Hope this is of use to someone. :o

    I am a big fan of the Book People and they do have some good bargains - I think there are 10 Redwall books for £3 in the Sale. The only thing to look out for is that they sometimes put single books in the Sale at quite a high price - eg Jeremy Strong books (very thin books) for £3 each - which have probably come from boxed sets which were about 7 for £7. A bit sneaky that, I think. Better to wait for the cheap boxed set to come around again. The Moomin books are definitely worth having - very nice editions. Google or look on the vouchers board for free P and P codes.
