How does this site work?

AllBookstores.com compares prices at dozens of online bookstores saving you time and money. When you perform a price comparison on AllBookstores.com, our robot goes out to each of our many stores, and checks their prices in real time, and then returns an easy to read list in a table format showing the merchant store, availability, book condition (new or used), the state the merchant charges sales tax in, the item price, the approximate shipping time & carrier, the approximate shipping cost, and the total cost. The total cost column is in order from the lowest price to the highest.

How do I compare prices and place my order?

Step 1: Search for your book.

Select the type of information you want to use in your search by choosing one of the following options from the drop-down box: the author's name, the title of the book, a keyword (a word that is in the title, author, or the book's subject category), or the ISBN (International Standard Book Number). Enter your search information in the empty box and click "Search".

Step 2: Choose the title your interested in.

Our search engine will return a list of books that match your criteria, including the title, author, book format (e.g. hardcover, paperback, audio, etc.) and publication date. When you find the book you want, click the "compare prices" button. If you do not find your book, repeat your search using different information.

Results: Compared Prices

A list of stores selling the title that you've chosen will appear. The stores are listed in order of  price in the "Total Cost" column, starting with the lowest price. Click on the "Buy It" button to the left of the merchants name if you want to buy the book or want more information about the book and the merchant.

Remember that when purchasing from one of our merchant stores, your purchase is being made from them and not AllBookstores.com. AllBookstores.com does not sell anything, we simply help you find the lowest price.

What if I can't find a book title?

If you still can't find the title you're looking for, and you have tried searching by title, author, keyword or ISBN, please let us try to find it for you by filling out the "Find-it" form located here.

What are your bestsellers lists?
