The Book People I first happened upon the book people at work. They had left a selection of cheap, yet good quality books, along with the web address, and I placed my first order. I thought that this was a book club, where you get your first few books for a very reasonable price and then read the small print and find you are tied in for the next few years. I was wrong. ~~ What is The Book People? ~~ The Book People claim to be one of the 'nation's largest suppliers of books' but unlike a book shop they do not stock a complete range of books, instead they have a good range of books all at a ... more

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 Holes by Sachar, you'll know this is a must.

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 publications come with a 75% reduction on the recommended retail price. THE SITE The site is very simply and clearly designed, with no annoying ... more

Today started off great! In fact, it was better than great, it was, as near as dammit, dash-dang doodlybug fan-flipping-tastic! Why? Because I got a parcel through the post!! Every day starts off great if you get a parcel! (For one thing, it makes a nice change from the endless bills and junk mail!) So, what was in my parcel, I hear you ask? (Or was that ‘the little voices’?! I hear them sometimes, they tell me to do things!!! LOL. Temporary loss of plot there, sorry!!) Well, there were eleven things in my parcel… and they only cost me £17.97 including £2.95 postage and ... more
