Had a look at some of the offers last time and most were cheaper on other sites at their non sale price.

Bit of a sham

The concept is good however it will fail if the books are just left over stock that nobody wants.

Joni23 · 31-01-2012 7:06pm

I agree, although I bought some last time they were grand Christmas presents, I ain't hanging around on the hour anymore, wasn't worth that.

A great offer for once.

Joni23 · 02-02-2012 1:20pm

The paperback is 6.09 pounds on amazon at the moment. Suppose its an ok saving from that when you include free delivery. Nice to have a hard back too.

Fraid not.

From FAQ
The book you're ordering is only definitely yours when you see the confirmation page - up to that point if someone beats you to it, then sorry you're out of luck. We hope everyone will get at least one of the titles they're after.

Can I buy all of the books?

You can buy as many, or as few of the titles offered as you like, we don't charge postage for over 100 countries around the world, so there is no harm in shopping again, and again throughout the day. You are however limited to three copies of each book per person - it's only fair that as many people as possible get to grab a bargain.
