Hiya,

Looking at buying my dc a few books from The Book People. Has anyone had any problems from them, and is it a "Book Club?"

Thanks

Also check out red house publishing (link on their site - same 'group') for cheap books for kids.

They're very good. No, it's not a 'book club'.

Yes their packages & full sets are fantastic value.

I brought FIL 10 books which should retail ffor £6.99 each. Paid £9.99 the lot.

They have a Thomas The Tank full set for £30 (RRP £130ish) which I have brought for Mother to give DN for XMas.
