I imagine that everyone in the UK who is interested in the book trade knows that Tesco (a hugely powerful and successful supermarket chain) uses its clout to sell books at massively discounted prices. And they sell lots of them -- sometimes out-ordering and out-selling WH Smith by five to one. But what you may not know -- I certainly didn't until I went googling for something -- is that Tesco also have an extensive online bookstore.
I've been having a look at it, and my first impressions are that it's rather good. Limited, of course. Doesn't list every book ever published, and leans, as you would expect, towards the popular side of things. But you can find the paperback version of the GOB on it, if you want to.
What is more, you can use the site to buy lots of other things, such as DVDs, CDs, and the like. You can even download music.
Now -- I've spent a few minutes googling and can't find the answer to this -- did Tesco build all this from scratch? Or are they piggy-backing their online presence on the back of some other company which does the stocking and despatching? The latter, I expect. But who?

Letter from Terry Lubbock published in The Sun Newspaper 22 December 2006.
Dear Sun
In January you published an article claiming I'd 'forgiven' Michael Barrymore for any involvement in my son Stuart's death. In fact, I've never accused him of the attack which four pathologists, the coroner and police all say happened. Your article did't reveal the continuing dispute between us - discussed at our meeting - as to where the assault happened. You reported that Stuart could have been assaulted after his body was removed from Mr Barrymore's home, although an investigation by Essex Police in 2003 proved Stuart's injuries happened at Mr Barrymore's house. Essex Police have now agreed to re-open the investigation. Analysis of the case casts doubt over wheather Stuart's body was ever in the swimming pool, suggests evidence of a cover-up of how Stuart died and shows Essex Police bungled the £8million investigation into his death. I've now asked the Independent police Complaints Commission to recomend an outside police force carry out the re-investigation. I still want Mr Barrymore to tell police the whole truth about the night Stuart died. Terry Lubbock, Harlow Essex.
