Buying Books on-line

[Anon_F]

Need to get a few books for a course i'm starting shortly.
But whats the best on-line book store to go for?
Amazon, Play.com? Any others to look at??

Amazon is my favourite, but a good friend finds "The Book People" http://www.thebookpeople.co.uk excellent, their prices are amazing and they have a selection of reference books, although probably not as extensive as Amazon, WHSmith: http://www.whsmith.co.uk or Waterstones: http://www.waterstones.com There is also The Book Depositry: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk (but I have not personally ordered from that one, but it looks good.)

Hope there is something there to help - dying to know what kind of course you're about to start, but I'm far too polite to ask

I'm not - what you studying mate?

I found waterstones to actually be cheaper than amazon!! Maybe thats not true for all titles but certainly all of the 3 i needed to buy...

Got to get my brain round networking & setting up & running of small networks via hub's/switch's.

I always use Amazon or Amazon marketplace and never really had any problems with it

When buying reference books for university courses I used the Waterstones university bookshop - but then that's in Manchester... ops: You could pick up second hand textbooks quite cheaply there
