Looking for Cheap Books?

There are lots of websites out there that supposedly help you find the lowest price for goods, including BizRate.com, DealTime and mySimon. D has had great experience using Froogle (part of Google).

My great discovery today is isbn.nu, a site that searches for the lowest price on books using words in title, author, subject or ISBN. You can also choose to view prices with and without shipping costs added in. It's a great service but be careful if you are looking for a book that has multiple editions - the lowest price shown may be be for an older version. Even though it may not be the cheapest store, I'll stick with Amazon.com since I like saving items in my Wish List, as well as peruse the reader reviews and recommendations.
