Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hi Colleagues & Clan, If you do not know it already, BOOKMARK the homepage of http://www.bestbookdeal.com/ and pass the word to friends who may need to buy expensive textbooks. This great resource compares book prices across a wide range of bookshops and one can order online at the best price. One can save much money when buying books here because one can find the same book at widely differing prices on that site. For example, compare the difference in US$ prices for the following 6 textbooks: 1. Otto M. Radostits, Clive C. Gay, Douglas C. Blood, Kenneth W. Hinchcliff, Clive Gay, Ken Hinchcliff: Veterinary Medicine: A Textbook of the Diseases of Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Goats and Horses 9th Edition www.bestbookdeal.com/book/compare/0702026042?currency=USD 2. Giovanni Maciocia: The Foundations of : A Comprehensive Text for Acupuncturists and Herbalists. Second Edition www.bestbookdeal.com/book/compare/0443074895?currency=USD 3. Nigel Wiseman & Feng Ye: A Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine: www.bestbookdeal.com/book/compare/0912111542?currency=USD 4. Jiao Shu-De: Ten Lectures on the Use of Medicinals: www.bestbookdeal.com/book/compare/0912111623?currency=USD 5. Joseph Needham: Science and Civilisation in China www.bestbookdeal.com/book/compare/0521087325?currency=USD 6. Allen Schoen & Susan Wynn: Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine: Principles and Practice www.bestbookdeal.com/book/compare/0815179944?currency=USD When buying expensive textbooks, one can save a very significant amount per book through that site. For example, the following table is based on the listed prices from the URLs above: US$ prices (including postage) for the 6 books, listed above: Book Min Max Difference #1 68 254 186 #2 113 227 114 #3 81 201 120 #4 48 137 89 #5 75 186 111 #6 83 183 100 Total price 468 1188 720 Mean price 78 198 120 Compared with the dearest prices (total 1188 US$), if one were to buy ALL 6 books at the cheapest prices (total 468 US$) , one would save 720 US$ in all. That would be a mean saving of 120 US$ per book! If you know a better site that compares book prices between bookstores, please let me know.
