    4 Stars ◆Book worm infestation◆ 23/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use website

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hasn't got every book, surcharge for some areas

    Mirroring Nar words of wisdom... Hello and welcome to the review that should have been here. It was here but its not here now as I have taken it and put it into my private stash somewhere else. It may well appear somewhere else online and if it does it will have my name on it. Thank you to everyone, to all the people in my COT over the years who have stuck by me and who have been great influences over the reviews I have written. It is indeed a sad case that reviewers have to come to this, to put a review on which makes no sense at all when the original content should be listed and frankly ... more

    5 Stars bargains galore 09/05/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages low prices, no commitment, excellent choice

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none that i have experienced so far

    As an English literature degree student, I am always buying books (but of course I hear you cry!) And, being a student, I’m always on the look out for a bargain. So, now for the science part: books + bargains = thebookpeople.co.uk. I could finish my op on that proven scientific formula but I guess I’d better go on to provide some backing to my argument…. ----------------------- thebookpeople.co.uk ----------------------- I am already a member of both the QPD and TSP book clubs (ops on both of these coming to a ciao category near you soon!) However, having had parcels go missing and generally ... more

    4 Stars If only they'd delivered the books to me. 20/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good selection of inexpensive books for all ages and interests.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I had delivery problems

    You know that moment when you take the Sunday papers through to the dining room? The first thing I do is take out all the fliers and put them in the paper recycling. This lightens the load considerably and you’re no longer in danger of dropping a TruPrint envelope into your toast and marmalade. A couple of years ago I was doing this when the words “Six Classic Crime Novels for £6.99” caught my eye. I’m addicted to crime novels, but I was sure they’d be rubbish at that price. There were two Eric Amblers – “The Mask of Dimitrios” and “Journey ... more

    5 Stars Are you sitting comfortably..... 05/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very cheap books

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Ever since the printed word was invented, people have loved to read. Fact or fiction, educative or not, we have swarmed by the millions to buy more and more. It has mattered not a jot that we are now in a digital age and can download huge chunks of text not to say whole books from the Internet. We still prefer a nice crisp new book to a screen or pages of A4 paper. It is not so many years ago that the only place, apart from a public library, that we could get out hands on a book was in the high street. Here the dedicated bookshop reigned supreme. I still love to browse through these ... more

    4 Stars Bargains Galore 10/12/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None as yet

    Psst - Are you on the look out for cheap Christmas presents, well let me point you in the right direction. If you are like me and are a book lover this opinion is for you. The Book People are one of the largest UK suppliers of top quality books for reasonable prices. They issue a mail order catalogue that contains 29 pages of bargain books. They are not a book club so you only order what you want and no obligation to buy a certain amount of books in any period of time. Let me wet your appetite by letting you know some of the offers currently available in their October, issue 76 catalogue ... more

    5 Stars A good site for bookworms. 06/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great books at a good discount, no commitment and no catch.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Absolutely none.

    I am a person that absolutely loves books, and I love a bargain even more - so put the two together and I’m in heaven. I’ve had experience of three book clubs so far: - World Books - I wouldn’t recommend joining, as there is a commitment and it’s just not worth the hassle, but more about that another time, maybe? The Book People - who I had experience with at Christmas, and which is why I’m doing an opinion TSP - most recently, I had experience with this company (see related opinion) So I felt that as I had done a previous opinion on TSP, then The Book People ... more

    5 Stars Bringing the Book People to book. 07/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great books at bargain prices and customer incentives

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I have been a regular customer of the book people now for over two years. They have a wide variety of quality books ranging from children's titles to reference. I enjoy purchasing the book people's special edition box sets where you can pick up, for example, ten books in a series that would normally cost you £70 for as little as £9.99. The book people have a reward scheme where the more you purchase the more points you earn. These points can then be redeem against book purchases. I have had four free books already by using the points that I had been rewarded. The books always arrive well ... more

    5 Stars Bookworms favourite people! 09/08/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Straight to your door no messing!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages So many books so little time!

    A little over 2 years ago I was given a leaflet by my mum who knows the amount of money I spend on books. She assumed (rightfully) that I would be able to save some cash and still keep up with my literary addiction. I have now become totally addicted to my monthly fix of top quality, bargain priced books. I started to purchase books from them and at first I just ordered for myself, then it sort of snowballed I took the monthly booklet into work and suddenly everyone wanted to play. I now have a regular group of people who eagerly await the monthly magazine. Every month the book is loaded with ... more

    4 Stars A very good source of cheap books. 29/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages An interesting range of books offered, with no strings attached.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages (Unless you're a parent) Too many childrens' books.

    I can't remember how I first got introduced to The Book People, but for two or three years now I've looked forward to seeing their catalogue in the post every couple of months. The Book People don't call themselves a 'book club' as they don't ask people to join up, they don't have any minimum purchase requirements and they will never send you unsolicited book choices, as some clubs do. Books for children and young people are always at the front of their slim catalogue, and indeed fill about 60% of the pages. I don't have any children to buy for, so these pages are of peripheral interest to me; ... more

    5 Stars Recent releases-low prices-possible free posatge 09/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick and simple to use and cheap good quality books

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need to check regularly for new deals not all books listed

    I have been a member of bookpeople for some years now and by that I mean that one day a brochure droped through my door and I was pleasently suprised to find good quality recent release books for low prices. I have 2 children and I started by ordering books for them and then for their friends birthdays. I soon moved on to buying for myself and family and I am now completely hooked. Since I first started getting the books they have gone online and I have to say for someone that has very little experience online I find their website simple and clear and very easy to search for books I want and ... more
