Excellent for physboks, especially the odd "star " ref work, I still buy from them occassionally when it's the only option.
This month they were offering all 10 George Gently (a cop) novels, a series began in 1955. - police procedural/slightly cosy/UK policing /crime.
The price for all 10 in paperback, £10-99.
Amazon price kindle edition - £4-79 each.
I mean, what is the point ?
[ They are also offering all 6 of the Orange Prize shortlist for a total of £20 in physbooks.
The difference here is not as great, but still beats the digital, just.]

To be honest, if you expect to find what Martin Shaw portrays in the tv series you are in for a huge disappointment.
The televised series only vaguely resemble the books starting from the toal absence of Bacchus whom I really dislike.
Being an avid reader and one of the biggest collectors in Europe if not the world of Martin-related items I enjoy both, but better warn you.
