Use the categories to the left of every page to browse our selection of books or if you know what you are looking for, use the search box in the header. You can search by author, book title, book code (from our printed catalogue) or keyword.
The word(s) you have searched for will be highlighted to show whether they are found in the book title or description. As our great value collections are so popular, search results will include titles that fit your search criteria, but are part of a set.
If you are still unable to find the book you are looking for, this means that we do not currently hold the book in stock. Some titles may be re-advertised in the coming months, so please check back regularly.
What are Book Points?
Book Points are the Book People's way of rewarding our loyal customers. Earn Book Points on every book you buy from us, then redeem them for free books! Find out more in our Book Points section.

What happens to my points if I haven't placed an order in a long time?
If you are an existing customer but you haven't ordered from us in the past 24 months, your Points balance will be cancelled and will remain at zero until you place an order with the Book People, when you will start to earn points again as normal.
Any Book Points not redeemed when you place your order will automatically be stored against your account for use at a later date.

All children's titles from the Book People have a recommended reading age in order to help you choose appropriate books for your child. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the age group selection is accurate, parental discretion may be required to ensure suitability for individual children.
We will, of course, be happy to adjust an age range if it becomes clear that the original recommendation is unsuitable.
If you receive books you believe to be inappropriate for the age of your child, then you are entitled to return them by following our returns procedure.

Tips on using promotion codes
You have the right to cancel your order anytime before and up to seven working days starting from the day after the goods are delivered. If your order has already been despatched when you choose to cancel, please see our ordering policy.
The Book People Ltd sells directly to the public only. We do not offer any books for third party re-sale. For this reason, there are restrictions on ordering. You cannot order more than 20 of the same book online. If you would like to make a purchase of more than 20 of the same title, please telephone our Order line on 0845 602 40 40 and an operator will review your order.
Quick shop can be found in the basket. The quick shop facility is aimed at customers who have a copy of our catalogue, but prefer to place their order online. It allows you to use the product codes provided in the catalogue to purchase books quickly and easily.
Codes can be found next to every product in the catalogue.
There are two boxes that make up quick shop. Enter the prefix (three numbers at the beginning of each product code) into the first box if you have it – don't worry, if you don't have the prefix to hand, you can ignore this box and just enter the product code into the second box. Click ‘add to basket’ after each code and the book will automatically be added to your basket.
If you are entitled to a free gift as part of a promotion we are running, it will automatically be added to your basket once you qualify.
We will occasionally offer several free gifts for you to choose from. In this case, once you have qualified for the promotion, you will be presented with a page in the basket enabling you to make your selection.
