Book buying

As someone with a bit of a problem with buying too many books I just thought I would share some knowledge.

The Book Depository is great! The prices are usually a few pence below Amazon's. And I never thought it would be possible to say this, but the service is even better! I have bought lots of books from them and they always deliver promptly without any fuss. The range is huge. They sell through Amazon marketplace but also from their own site.

I thought you may like to know as you are probably like me a little suspicious of Internet shops that you haven't used before.

Abebooks is also a great place to check out. Especially for second-hand books. It is basically Amazon marketplace for books old and new, but with more information on each book and more sellers.

  1. Thanks for the recommendations. I like Abe too. They picked up on print-on-demand books before Amazon, I think. It's fantastic how much is available to us bibliophiles now that publishers can print on demand for single orders and readers have the search power of the internet.
