Raven Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Article here: The Book People goes into administration I used to use them a lot about 10 to 15 years ago, but haven't ordered anything from them for several years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I order from them regularly, in fact had a delivery only last week. Fingers crossed they find a buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I remember picking books from their catalogue at primary school, but I’ve never used them as an adult. I kind of forgot they existed to be honest... They went into administration owing indie publisher Galley Beggar Press more than £40,000 too, which isn’t good. It’s nice to see that people have raised so much money to help save them though: https://www.gofundme.com/f/galley-begging?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been sad if them entering Ducks, Newburyport into the Booker prize had ended up putting them out of business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Faversham Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 So pleased to see they were fished out through GoFundMe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
