Great book
Great book - I have had one for many years and it was a firm favourite. Unfortunately it was "lost" in a house move.
I was more than delighted to see you advertise one.
Thank you so very much, I'm now cooking all of my families favourite dishes again

Great service and great prices.
I saw some books on their website and ordered those I was interested in. Some were new and some were second-hand. The prices were good (the pre-owned books were excellent prices!) and they were all sent via Royal Mail. They therefore arrived promptly and in perfect condition as the packaging was good. The pre-owned books are in great condition so I'm very satisfied with my purchases.
