I've purchased a couple of times from Computer Manuals.
http://www.compman.co.uk/ Free standard delivery in the UK, and they do ship worldwide. Have so far found service to be excellent, and prices very keen. They often have good promotions and email coupons too. |

I use half.com for most books. They are much cheaper, you have a choice between used or new.
Check it out. |

I think that the vast majority of people in the UK have a single prefered place, and that is Amazon.
After going to Amazon to check it out I'll head to other places such as Play to see if it's any cheaper, but amazon is always first choice for me.

I quite often go to amazon.co.uk and get the ISBN code for the book.
Then go to www.bookbrain.co.uk and use the ISBN code to search a load of book stores automatically. |

i agree that compman is really good - fast and books arrive strangely packed! ebay can be pretty good too, but P&P can be a bit of a stinger.
the one i'd recommend to avoid is blackwell - any time i've ordered books they've taken weeks to arrive (one took 6 months). |

Book Shops
Hi All,
Try www.computerbooks.co.uk they have a good range and I think the prices compare. I also use Amazon for stuff not available in the UK Keimos IT Training ConsultantLearn, Understand, Do |

I'll throw mine in here too, hope it's of use to anyone visiting this forum!
1. In Grand Cayman you can use the 'Book Nook' store on West Bay Road. They have a small and not particularly varied selection of books for self study etc in stock. The great thing about this store though is they will order anything you want from Amazon.com (not just books either) or any other online store and charge you the same cost in CI$ as the US$ price. They just add on a small charge for ordering it in to cover the import charges. You can pay a charge and have the order within a week (very expensive) or pay the price of the order and it should arrive within 2 and a half weeks. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend this store. 2. Books & Books located at Camana Bay. This is a brand new store on the island. It's lousy for computer books though as they simply don't carry them. They can order in books by request from their warehouse in the USA or from any online source. This is the same as the Book Nook except they charge you more and it takes 3 weeks to arrive. I wouldn't really recommend this store right now as it's a bit pricey, but use it as a comparative just incase (aka: shop around). 3. Hobbies & Books. Not had any experience with this company yet, maybe someone else can provide details for this store? |

online book pool and amazon. To walk in and sit down and smell all the new pages and binding, Booksamillion. They have some great discounts on their sales tables.
