MOOMIN BOOKS AT THE BOOK PEOPLE!!!

[PretendFriend]

As usual I can't make the link work but go to www.thebookpeople.co.uk, then Children's Fiction, then Collections, and atm it's on the first page - all 6 books for ?6.99

Really? WHere?

You know, I look for these books every time I am in a bookshop and NEVER find any of them!

Right. Found it. So next question is, if I buy from these people, am I obliged to buy other books? Will they badger me forever more? Does anyone have experience of them?

I use them all the time. You are under no obligation to buy anything from them.

Great. They are not a book club thing then? More like Amazon?

The book people have ballsed up my registration and I now can't re-register.

Ds2 is mightily disappointed.

You can order by phone, DG - 0870 6077740 (8am-8pm)

While you're on you could explain about the ballsed up registration and see if they can help.

There is an alternative landline number (cheaper than 0870) - 01942 868000. Probably only between 9-5 though.

Are they good? Have to say I saw them but had never heard of them. Am sourcing books for our school book fair and grateful for ideas.

The moomin books are beautiful. I love them more every time I read them.

PretendFriend (can you be PretendFiend for Hallowe'en?) you are BRILLIANT. 6yo dd devoured a few of these in the summer (30 year old editions from dh's childhood) but as she is as devouring a re-reader as a first-time-round reader they are essential bookshelf stock. And they're deservedly classics.

(As (DDsGirl), by the way, are The Book People - shockingly bargain prices, lovely imaginative ideas for collections, absolutely no book-club-pressure whatsoever, altogether heaven. The only problem is just how addictive (bargainly, bien sur) they are.)

If you use the code 147FPP you will get free postage

Bink, you are BRILLIANT too

Thnaks for drawing my attention to this as I have been looking for the Moomin books for some weeks now and had no joy in book shops or charity shops and was going to have to buy them all separately from Amazon.

I decided to ignore the registration balls up (they messed up my name for the delivery, but so what?) and went ahead and ordered. Unfortunately did it before kid mentioned the free postage code - that would have made a big difference! But still, £10 for 6 books is still a bargain.

Kid, what sort of an offer is that free postage code, eg has it got a time limit? Is there any point me noting it down for future use - might buy again from here before Christmas.

I've just placed a £30 order with them today. Got three cook books for my cousins , a "who do you think you are" book for my brother, a few children's books and a book about Mandela for my other brother.
Am tempted by the Narnia set they have, for £20

If you order over £25, postage is free anyway. I bump my order up with presents for assorted children's parties.
