The idea for this site came to me at some point during my undergraduate studies. At the time I was a broke student, majoring in philosophy and business and was trying to save as much money as I could on books. Luckily I had a job which allowed me much time to spend online and search for deals, manually comparing book prices in many sites. This method of comparing let me save tons of money, I can recall a brand new intro to business book which I purchased for $0.01 + $19.99 (for shipping), and for which most of my classmates paid $130 (new) or $80 (used). After a steep learning curve, a couple of failures, and an unfortunate break throughout most of my graduate studies I was finally able to launch the book comparison site to beat all others in late winter of 2008. Using it, all you have to do is enter a keyword. book title, author or ISBN, and we will look through the Web’s largest bookstores to help you find the best deal available.
