You won't be disappointed.x
I have had quite a few books from Awesome Books now and I have never been disappointed with any book. All have been such good quality and very good value for money. Delivery for me is within days by our cheerful Postman. It's hard not to keep looking for more books. I would definately recommend anyone to look at this site for the book/s they would like at such a good price and free postage.

Huge difference in price pound to euro
I have discovered this website a few years ago and found it really ... awesome! The choice of books and the prices, easy and safe delivery to France, everything was simply perfect.
Untill my last order - I wanted to buy a few books from the Cormoran Strike series and picture my surprise when the final checkout in euros showed almost 63% difference in price compared to what it should have been in pounds. A book marked 3,89 £ which, according to the rate today, is around 4,57€, was marked instead 7,47 €. And so on.
I tried contacting the site on several occasions directly through the contact form on their website, but apparently it does not work - I've had an error message every time. So I finally decided to call them. The only thing the lady on the other side would say was "the price on the checkout is the final price" and kept repeating that like a parrot, refusing to even consider offering an explanation.
I could and would accept some difference in price, but not 63%.
This enormous difference in price + non-functional contact form + a very bad telephone experience are the reasons behind only 1 star.
