I first came across The Book People as a company when they used to come into a couple of my former workplaces, and I bought a few books of them. My partner's mum introduced me to their website about 2 years ago as she used it a lot and had bought me some books from there as presents. I have now used the website a few times. ...  Read the complete review

This is my one of my favourite book sites, it is some kind of wholesale type business as i've also had bookpeople representatives visit my place of work flogging their wares, but i'm definitely not complaining as they keep me stocked up with fantastic books with some of their great offers. The site doesn't offer a limitless supply of ...  Read the complete review

I stumbled across The Book People website whilst searching for (cheap!) Christmas presents this year. To describe it - its amazing. I found the best bargains to be the sets. I bought a 14 book Penguin Classic book (the ones with the traditional, stylish 50s style covers in orange - really fashionable at the moment - mugs in this style ...  Read the complete review

The book people are a great source to get fantastic book at bargain prices. There is a very important point that I must stress firstly this is a website to buy books it is not a book club you can buy whenever you like you do not subscribe or become a member. www.thebookpeople.co.uk is a site I have used over 5 times in the past. They ...  Read the complete review

I have a Book People catalogue in front of me now, so I thought they would be a good candidate for a review. I started reading at a very young age, and this interest has always stayed with me. I remember how excited I used to get over Roald Dahl's books in particular, so much so that I refuse to part with a big three story book of his ...  Read the complete review

I went out this morning and upon my return I was greeted by a huge parcel. I could not wait to get this little beauty inside and unwrap it. I made sure the kids were occupied before creeping up to my bedroom with my purchase. The anticipation is better than foreplay. The opening of the parcel is better than ...  Read the complete review

The book people is a book shop that sells discount books online or through a catalogue. This not not a book 'club' there are no commitments whatsoever, you buy the books at the prices shown and never have to buy another book from them again if you don't wish to. I got my first catalogue in a sunday paper about 3 ...  Read the complete review

It’s Friday morning, the sun is shining, and I’m wishing I wasn’t at work. I want to be at home pottering, or in the garden, or out on the hills – anywhere but here. However, this Friday has just been brightened up by the arrival of a little man with a bag of books, which I have quickly appropriated and whisked away to my ...  Read the complete review

I honestly can't remember how I came across this book site. I think they sent me a magazine through the post. The bargains were too much for me to resist so I had to check the site out and have never looked back. IT ISN'T A CLUB!! You don't have to buy a minimum amount of books over any period of time, it's ...  Read the complete review

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. I had always been impressed with their mail order service so was curious to see whether their online service could live up to their high standards. As the name ...  Read the complete review

Well hello there my fellow opinionated comrades. The time has come upon us again. Yes, a ritual that has to be performed if we are to keep up the standard of this fine site. For me leastways!! The time to force another rewrite upon you all is here again. {*}{*}{*}{*}{*} Ooooh pretty!! The web is full of bargains, I had been ...  Read the complete review

You may have heard of this site, or not but it’s an excellent site for books. Although, it doesn’t have as many books as Amazon.co.uk or variety, this is a good book site nevertheless. The newsletter is very good and if you do get sign up for it you can get discount of up to 20% on books. The site is very good for offers and ...  Read the complete review

I just finished placing an order with The Book People (which you can get on .co.uk as well .com). The prices of what they on offer are superb. The choice os very limited, though they have most of the major books you probably want, don't go looking for anything to specific or specialised as they probably won't have it. I ...  Read the complete review

www.bookpeople.co.uk is a great site for cheap books. The magazine with the same name has been going for some years and you may have come across the book people at work as they often bring samples into offices for people to peruse. The website is pleasant to look at, easy to navigate and, perhaps most importantly, full of cheap ...  Read the complete review

I really like this bookshop. I dont go there for a particular book. I go to have a browse (and I ALWAYS end up buying stuff) Their service is fine, On one order the stuff didn;t arrive within the time allocated and when I rang them they said that they had a problem with that particular post depot, but that they would send me another parcel high ...  Read the complete review

If you like books, then this is a site you have to visit! The prices are amazing and the books geniunely ones you'd want to read. The Book People is not a regular bookshop, but a kind of online bargain basement, but with the kind of bargains you'll want to look at and maybe even purchase! I used to get their catalogue through ...  Read the complete review

I have been shopping with the Book People for ages, although I've only just started using their website. The Book People are not a proper book shop, don't bother going here if you are after an academic textbook for your university course. They are just an enormous bargain bin, but what is great about them is that they do actually have ...  Read the complete review

The Book People are a really great company. Their local distributor has dropped books off where I work for years, and they books they leave are just way cheaper than I have seen anywhere else. They seems to be getting more and more new books too, like the Jamie Oliver cookbook that they left with us at just £8. ( I bought three for my friends). ...  Read the complete review

I'd heard of The Book People from my sister: they visit her workplace, and she'd got some amazing bargains. I was therefore really pleased to hear they were online, and have visited and ordered from the site. The best bargains are packs of ten books for £10. I expected the selections to be really poor, but was surprised at the ...  Read the complete review

The bookpeople is the best online bookstore I've come across. There is nowhere near the vast choice of say, Amazon but what they DO sell is at rock-bottom prices. For example, at the time of writing they are selling Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" (hardback) for £4.99. I paid £6.99 for the SOFTBACK version! (advert: ...  Read the complete review
