Over the past few months, I've bought quite a few books via the Amazon Marketplace -- and noticed that many times the books were coming from the same seller - Abebooks. I decided to try ordering books directly through them. Now I'm obsessed.
They have almost everything I'm looking for, and almost all of them for $1.00. I'm not picky about getting hardbacks, or books with no creases, or the latest editions. $1.00, folks. Basically Abebooks is kinda like the amazon marketplace -- in that it sells books for thousands of book stores all over the place. So, if you really want to save money on shipping, you just search particular sellers inventory. Today I got 11 books for $20.19. Thats Basically $1 a book, $1 shipping. Pretty good deal. I'm getting really good at finding all the books I want from one seller too -- that really helps keep the shipping charges down.
Are you a book-lover? You should definitely try out abebooks (they're also great for hard to find books. I was able to buy several books that aren't in print anymore!)
