UPDATE: I remembered a promo code that I had, and so I changed my order slightly. Striked-through items are discarded from my original order.
Last year I got £70 in Waterstones vouchers from school, giving rise to my Large Book Order #1.
This year I won £60, and although I’d prefer money or at least vouchers to a decently priced store (Amazon), I’m not going to complain. I’ve chosen quite a wide selection of 14 16 books, again ones similar to Amazon’s price, and none few that I have read before ((The postman’s going to love me!)):
