BooksPrice - free book price comparison tool

Colin Dunstan · 04-13-2005, 06:09 PM

Lucy Orbach from LISNews.com discovered a cool free online service: BooksPrice is a free innovative service of finding the best price on a purchase of several books together. This service is more useful than the standard services which perform one book comparison at a time, and can save more money when buying several books together. Another unique thing in BooksPrice is the comparison of the prices of books in Amazon Wish Lists. One can search for his (or his friends) wish list and compare the prices of the books in the list.

Nope nope and nope.

This service is horribly bloated and doesn't present as much useful information as my favorite service... ISBN.nu. I've been using ISBN.nu for many years now with great success.

I suggest you compare the two and see for yourself. Faster and more capable, and its been around much longer. YMMV of course, and everyone has their own needs, but ISBN.nu suits mine. <grin>

I like them both and have thus bookmarked them both

Doesn't hurt to use both engines before buying a book.
