Advantages: Finds the cheapest price

Disadvantages: none

Ever buy books online?
Think you're getting a good deal?
STOP!
You need to go to Bookbrain.co.uk!!

Bookbrain doesn't actually sell books, what it does is searches other bookselling sites and comes up with the cheapest price it can find and provides you with a link to that site. The great thing about it is it includes postage in the price, I've bought books online a few times in the past and always been stung at the end by a huge cost for postage when I thought I was getting a good price for a book.

I put in a search for my favourite book, The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo. The first price it gives you is WHSmith Online, but that's because they sponsor bookbrain, so you ignore that price (£8.08)and go to the list below. The cheapest price for that book was £6.64, no shipping fee, from Alphabetstreet who I had never heard of before and probably never would if I hadn't gone to Bookbrain. The most expensive price was Waterstones at £9.74.

If you're into books and bargains, you'll love this site. I'll never buy a book online again before checking with bookbrain first.

I'll give it a try. I'm a fan of second hand bookshops.

It searches 14 online bookshops and tells you about delivery times... perhaps I should add this to my opinion, thanks for the hint!!
