RE: Where to buy books

Try
acses.com
to find out the cheapest supplier for a particular book.
Or, try
books.com
which has an ultra cheap discount club and always comes up the cheapest for me (a member)and provides competitors prices on the book.

Gerald,

You are right the only difference between the two is name. The reason I bought from amazon was at the time they were running a special on the book I was purchasing. Hey what can I say, I like sales. <gg> I have no reason to buy from either actually. I just call our retail store ( nebraskabookstore.com ) and have what ever I want sent to the office. B&N has deep pockets and I'm sure they will do fine on the net. Competition is good for everyone it will keep the prices down and the companies on their toes.

The thing that caught me about the press release was that everyone thinks because a publisher bought 1/2 of B&N.com that they will get more discounts. WRONG!! That is illegal and there have been many lawsuits brought against publishers for favoritism. Maybe I am reading to much into it but that would be my assumption, if I didn't know better. Time will tell how things shake out.

Have a great day

Take Care

Ann
