Don’t buy sticker books from them.
Don’t buy sticker books from them.
The reading books are fine, but I got two sticker books delivered which have had the stickers used…this should be noted on the purchase section if it is a possibility.
Such a shame as I love the idea of saving these books from landfill but I won’t be ordering again

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
