Advantages: easy to use, many choices, safe and secure Disadvantages: The range of choice makes it very tempting to overspend
...first came into contact with AbeBooks.co.uk when a one time beau unearthed a piece of mild erotic fiction - Plaisir D'Amour - and had it sent to my home address. I was almost as excited to find out about such a site as I was to reread those short stories which had fuelled my own imagination many years earlier.
From then on, I was an AbeBooks addict.
I have used the site to look for new and out of print works, have bought school and university text ... ...opened to new perspectives and bodies of work.
Searching for a book could not be easier. One can look for books either from the title, the author, the publisher or through the ISDN number. The search engine will then come up with all the sellers carrying that title. I shall expand on how you too could become one later, but for now we shall concentrate on what is on the site already. Each seller will have written a short description of the condition ...

Advantages: Variety, cost, availability Disadvantages: More people aren't aware of it.
Reading is a hobby I enjoy doing in my free time, and I like to get books of different principles, ideas, and beliefs. With this in mind, web sites that offer such a variety are hard to find. When I found AbeBooks.Co.UK, I discovered a vast array of exciting novels, poetry, plays, etc. AbeBooksCoUK has a large selection of reading material, and the products are sold at a very reasonable price. One thing that stood out to me, is that they have material ...

Quick review of AbeBooks.co.uk
I bought this book from a charity shop after reading another one of her books that I brought from a boot fair. I enjoyed it as it was deeply engrossing and it kept me interested and I found that I was kept wondering what was going to happen next. I found I got involved and wanting to get answers to the questions that Temperence was asking in the 'who', 'why' and 'when'. Overall an excellant book for anyone who enjoys a good thriller. Also I enjoyed the series 'Bones' on the tv and watched with great interest to see what would happen next. ...

Advantages: Access to a huge array of books Disadvantages: None
...local book stores, I found abebooks.co.uk online. Following a quick search, I found a number of the books I was looking for, with a number of options as to price and condition. The options to buy books from abroad, at a drastically cheaper price is also a bonus.
I have to admit that it was quite tempting to select the "first edition" or "signed copy" boxes, but the prices - not surprisingly - sends the prices shooting right up. The books always ...

Advantages: Obscure books at low prices Disadvantages: Not that well-known, limited range, delivery varies
As a student, I'm regularly faced with the task of finding textbooks as cheaply as possible - and this is where Abebooks shines. I've found several texts on there for less than half the price (which is handy when you consider the average textbook is anywhere from £40-60.) If you have the basic information about the book you want - Author, Title and/or IDSN, finding (or not) your book is quick and easy.
Results are displayed with a brief, but comprehensive ... ...(new, used, etc.) and contain further links to find out more information about the books. You can also send the seller questions (though response times will obviously vary.) Handily, search results can be sorted by a number of criteria - price, author, title, date. However, the company's strength is also one of its main weaknesses. Because it is a marketplace, choice can be limited - it doesn't have the same range as other better-known book sellers ...
