    Not working for me, either.

    nope. aint working now.

    there is a message saying that the site is down for maintenance.

    some kind of euphemism for actually meaning they have been inundated with requests and exceeded the projected demand for the taster of 1p?

    never mind, I didnt get the Thorntons chox offer at xmas either.

    too old, too slow.
    :o Keep trying.........................what else is there to do? :o

    Just had a look and the books that were really cheap (under 50p) have been removed from the website. Books that were price over 50p are still available, but you need to scroll through the list to find them!

  • All the 1p items are gone but there were books starting from 59p each (page 9 onwards I think). Not sure if it's a bargain or not, but I just ordered 8 books for £4.74. Free delivery too.
