I've just read on the news that The Book People has gone into administration!
I did all my Christmas shopping with them! I hope it can be saved

Pity..... They used to come to my last job and we always found something. But of course, the selections, whilst good, were small - i.e. more in a bookshop and of course, much more on line.

I ordered a book from them a few days ago and it's arrived today. It would have cost £22 in Watersons and I paid around £10 on the Book People. It's a shame about it going into administration as I've always liked buying books from them and especially when they started doing other things than books.

I saw that on the BBC but it did say they were intending to keep trading and there were no plans to let staff go so I got the impression they were hoping to honour all orders. Fingers crossed for you Margaret

Very sad. Their prices were amazing! Could get such bargains from them. I've heard to that they are going to honour existing orders. Hope they can.

After seeing the news and saw that the book people would honour the Christmas orders, I put in another order and it has just been delivered.
I hope that Margaret has got all her orders all tight?

The Book people is still going at the moment. They have a sale at the moment books at silly prices and 30% off if you spend £30
I've just done some early C... shopping! |

My parcel has finally arrived!
Ordered 23rd March I was told there was a delay in deliveries due to overwhelming orders as they were closing down and also in administration, of 7 weeks. I gave them 7 weeks sent them 2 emails with no response so then I looked for the administrators and emailed them to see if they had ceased trading. They responded quite quickly asked one or two questions and lo and behold the goods arrived today! coincidence or what? I will never know!
So I now have a full bookcase again of books to read! |

So I now have a full bookcase again of books to read! I too put in an order just before they went under and was thinking just yesterday that I should perhaps chase it up, having received nothing as yet. I'll send them an email, but if I don't get a response I might have to ask you for the administrators' details, Margaret... |
