Advantages: great books at great prices Disadvantages: none
If you have not yet discovered this amazing company you really should go th their website and have a look. They sell wonderful books at amazing prices!
I first encountered The Book People when i was working in school and one of their reps came round and left a small selection of books for people to browse and order if they wanted to. Over the years I have ordered quite a few books in this way and always been really pleased with the low price and ... ...wait for someone to come to your workplace as you can order any of the fairly wide selection of books they offer through their website at www.thebookpeople.co.uk

Advantages: Gosh-darned cheap, small but comprehensive selection, excellent customer service. Disadvantages: Headache-inducing website colours, not all special offers available online.
Today, my parcel from thebookpeople was rather a good one. It contained:
● Set of ten books by John Steinbeck in Penguin Classics at £9.99. The published price for these books is a whopping £77.90. (Well, I needed them: my old ones are rather dog-eared).
● Stanley Yelnat's Guide to Camp Green Lake by Louis Sachar at £1.99. The published price of this is £4.99 and I've not seen it at less anywhere on the High Street. (If you've read ... ...you've not, why've you not?!)
● Norwegian Wood the two book novel by Murakami that comes in boxed form. Its list price is £15.00 but I'm paying only £5.99. (Yes, yes, I know: I should have read it already. I haven't. So there).
● Set of eight John Grisham novels at £9.99 instead of £55.92. (Not my bag at all, but I needed to donate a prize for the village skateboard park (!) fund).
● Slipcased set of three hardbacked children's ...

Advantages: free delivery for purchases over £25.00, gift delivery service Disadvantages: do not stock the latest releases
I was first introduced to The Book People via their mail order service, which has now been running over 10 years. I was delighted to discover they also had an on-line service.
As the name suggests, the company sells a good array of books and stationery for all ages. Don’t expect to find the latest releases here though as it is mainly devoted to bestsellers that have been in print for some time, and this is reflected in their pricing. Most ... ...price.
