If you love books then you will LOVE this site! psbooks.co.uk is the online home of Postscript, an established mail order book seller which specialises in overstocked and out of print books. You'll not find anything here in the best sellers list but you WILL pick up some absolute gems and some real bargains too!
Virtually everything offered here is half price or less and with only £1.80 delivery charge for your first book up to a maximum of £3.00 no matter how many books you order, you can save a fortune by shopping here. Being overstocks and out of print copies you'll find this is also a place to find books you'll not find anywhere else on the web as well!
The very nature of the site encourages browsing and this is very easy to perform here, which is something some of the bigger companies could do with improving. You can't browse Amazon etc. you have to know what you want and go straight for it using the search engine, that's not the case here and it positively encourages browsing which is one of the joys of shopping offline. Beware though, because there are loads of really great books here at great prices you're bound to find your shopping basket packed by the time you've finished looking around!!
My one gripe is that as these books are overstocks, once they are gone they are gone, no re-ordering etc. they're just gone for good. The website is updated regularly but there is always the chance of disappointment if you take too long about making your shopping decisions...you can't rely on seeing something in the morning and it still being there in the afternoon for example. It's a minor gripe but it's worth pointing out if you intend to use the site - if you see it and you want it, then grab it!
Overall a great site with superb prices, not the largest selection but an interesting one, very reliable and highly recommended. Check them out!
