Interesting Book Search Site - A Meeting of Minds

***Becky*** · May 17 2006, 10:17 AM

I have found a new book search site that is interesting.

Go to http://www.allbookstores.com and search by author and enter Anne McCaffrey.
There are listings for Dragonsong and Dragonsinger in hardcover for $18.00. I haven't found out if these are reprints or ex-library or what. But if you want a hardcover book for a good price this sounds good.

I'll check on it more later, but gotta go to work in a few, but wanted to post this. Have fun!

Interesting....

They do search a few places that bookfinder doesnt', but Bookfinder searches a lot more that they don't.

And I did a search on both for Hargreaves -- Bookfinder found plenty of copies, Allbookstores found none despite many of the copies being at stores they supposedly search.

So I guess I'm not impressed, but will keep the think and use it occassionally as backup for searches.

Cheryl, same here,

I didn't like that they didn't give all the prices marked

. Or perhaps I was missing something,

which is very possible. It didn't seem as nicely laid out or as clear with what the book was, like year, condition, signed, 1st, cover...etc. as some of the other book sites.

I did get a nice little list of all the on line book sellers though.

Thank you Becky,

for finding this, it is another place to go when all others have been tried, and that is a good thing to have.

What caught my eye was the listing for the Harper Hall books, Draongsong and Dragonsinger in hardcover for only $18. Obviously reprints, but will be interesting to see if we can find out some more. I still haven't looked it over much but from what Cheryl and Maelin say it's a good alternative/additional site to search.
