    Yep, in administration and probably won't survive, but as it's in administration you are effectively buying from a very reputable accountancy company :)

    So great value if you like your books.

    Spend over £25 and standard UK delivery is free, so you'd only have to pay PM/PW/AP fees.....

    The code works on virtually every book as they are almost all "hand picked favorites"

    Also (unusual for a UK company) the stg/eur rate they use is 1.125 whereas the current bank mid market rate 1.151

    I'm sorted for God child gifts for a few months :D

    Klingon Bird of Prey - Haynes Owners Workshop Manual for €1.13 is surely worth a shot.

    I’ve had orders from them sent separately before so wouldn’t chance PM or PW. Paid €20 postage but got >100 books so even with the postage it’s a bargain

    I'd echo that, can't remember if definitely this company or not, but got badly stung before ordering books to PW, ended up paying seven separate PW fees on one order

    When you see that their stg/eur exchange rate is about 5% better than your credit card and even with a delivery fee v free delivery to parcel motel, there is little or no difference buying in euro and getting it delivered to your door rather than parcel motel

    I got 31 books.
    2 art sets.
    5 x (22 pencil sets) handy for gifts / party bags
    2 cbeebies number block sets.
    Missed out on a lot of other great bargain puzzles and games as they sold out fast but happy with what I got!
    All for €30 using the AFSUPER35 then €9.99 deliver so for all the books it's a bargain have 3 kids so covered them all in that order! €40 for the lot.

    The Book People have a clearance sale on.
    Also use code “ AFSUPER35 “ for extra 35% off over €40 spend I think.

    Note:- They went into administration back in December but says all orders will be fulfilled.

    €9 ROI delivery, could cheaper with Revolut and parcel motel/address pal but would be worried about the weight if ordering sets

    David Walliams book set out if stock but the audio book cds set is still available

    Forgot they were on their last legs, always so handy at that winter festive period (that might be too early to talk about in March), when my kids were young. Some great deals to be had.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Delighted with this bargain - ordered a pile of books for teenagers, none of them more than 2.25 Euro. Postage to Ireland only 7 Euro which seems very low considering the weight of my order. Used the save15 code for a couple of Euro off.
