I read an awful lot. I also have quite a large collection of books and although I use the local library, I prefer to own my own copy of books by certain authors (like Terry Pratchett).

Review of studentbookworld.com by ShellyB

Advantages: Fast, efficent service
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

I read an awful lot. I also have quite a large collection of books and although I use the local library, I prefer to own my own copy of books by certain authors (like Terry Pratchett). Buying all these from high street shops is quite expensive and since I don’t have a credit card, I couldn’t shop online - or so I thought. When I found Splash Plastic I was delighted. It’s like a credit card only it’s prepaid and is accepted ...
...I want to tell you all about StudentBookworld.com. It’s a brilliant site and you don’t have to be a student to use it! It stocks over 250,000 books and sources more via the publisher. Every book they stock is discounted, some quite heftily. The home page is very easy to navigate and the type is large and easy to read. Books can be found either by browsing their categories or using their search facility. Searches can be made either by ... Read review

Great range of books at excellent prices
Review of studentbookworld.com by PaulSingh

Advantages: Good prices, wide stock range, easy to use
Disadvantages: No customised book selections

StudentBookWorld.com is less well known than some of the big guns like Amazon and Waterstones but is well worth trying. I have used the site several times over the past year and came across the site as it listed on the Price comparison portals such as book brain, shopsmart and kelkoo. I am not a student and have found this site carries just a wide range of books espeically computer and fiction titles as any of the competitors so I would recommend ...
...looking for discounts on their textbooks. You can search on a total of 1.2 million titles It is a very simple and easy to use site - the most important feature being a fast search engine where you can search by title, author or isbn There is an Easy search page where you can also specify date of publication The checkout procedure is straightforward and your credit or debit card is checked online on a secure gateway. This is handy as you know straightaway ... Read review

Excellent book site for students
Review of studentbookworld.com by WAD1-2-3

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: none

Attention, to all students. When you’re new semester starts in the new term and you have a massive book list then try studentworldbook.com. It’s a great place to buy you’re books online. Compared to prices at ‘Waterstone’ and ‘Book Worm’ the prices were very competitive and in some cases cheaper. The site is very well organised and the search engine is particularly useful, it allow you to search by: -title ...
...and say if you need a book for wider reading but do not have a title, then if you search by subject it will particularly useful. The searches are fast and quite extensive, you can get a huge list. Just check the first two or three. It is particularly helpful because it tells you how many copies they have left, so if they have one left you best make you’re decision quickly or if there are hundreds left then it doesn't matter as much. You can ... Read review

Review of studentbookworld.com by jrt01

Advantages: huge selection of books
Disadvantages: not free delivery

Looking for textbooks for my courses, I check many different sites online, but I always seem to come back to studentbookworld.com. They claim to have over a million books (I haven't counted though!). A good thing is that you can view the stock levels when you find a book, that way you know if you can order it. Normally, when I order things out of stock, I'm e-mailed a few days later, or sometimes not at all. At studentbookworld, if the book you want ...
...a different title (if available). They accept all major payment methods (including SOLO, which is rare online), although a downside is that delivery is not free. It is not expensive though, especially compared with other sites who can charge up to £4 per order. Delivery is fast and secure - no chance of your books being ruined in transit or delivered late. I recommend this site as a must for students who need cheap books fast. ... Read review

Excellent stock of books for students
Review of studentbookworld.com by begum

Advantages: really good site
Disadvantages: some of the prices

A great site to buy books for any student, this is a really good site which could save you a lot of money. The prices are cheap and competitive, they have a great stock list and you’ll probably find what you are looking for. I like the site, it’s easy to follow, and the search facilities are really good. Just in case you miss something it as a very comprehensive search engine available which allows you to search by: title, author, subject, ...
...results are accurate it will give you a long list…… I have tried a few web sites and this one always has come near the top on sites like kelkoo.com or shopsmart.com. So, you can make good savings. You can purchase online, and security seems to be good. I have ordered a few text books and I have found the service to very prompt. Delivery is quick within a few days. However, there can be a charge for it………. The site ... Read review
