Where to buy a periodic table online?

Forgive me if this question seems rather dull, but I'm not the most seasoned online shopper.

I am looking for a reasonably large periodic table; 80+cm width and height. Also the price should be no more then 8 pounds.

Again I must mention that I know I could google this; but as mentioned I am not a 'seasoned' online shopper and would rather not lose my credit card to a crooked online fraudster!

Many thanks.

if its for a course I would recommend saving the exam board one as an image go on the boots photo website or something similar and upload it and choose what size you want. then you would have the exact masses that your exam board uses since they aren't written as exactly the same on different ones.

Though the size and price is good, its a rather ugly one. I would prefer just white and black!

Look on poster websites.. they tend to have them. Not normally a black and white one though..

Do what I did with A-Level Chemistry and draw out the PT on a large sheet of paper. It helps you remember where all the elements etc. go.

Man A-Levels seem like such a long time ago!

nah, only the common ones.

it is their position in periodic table that governs their bonding and properties.

it is at first, but then i can recall configurations easily and dealing lots with transition metals, they do come handy.
