Find the cheapest books online - fast

Posts: 2 Newbie
I'm a research student at the University of Edinburgh and have to buy a lot of books for my job. I recently found this great website that searches all the online bookshops in one search and displays the best prices:
bookprice24.co.uk
The website is great because:
(i) it searches over 20 bookshops.
(ii) it includes postage and packing in the price that it displays so you can really see which website is the cheapest.
(iii) it includes new and used books on the same search page (it labels all of the results e.g. 'new' or 'used-good').
I have found this device really helpful for letting me see whether I can afford a new book and how much is will really cost. I normally search the web to find the ISBN number for the book I want. Then put it into bookprice24 and decide which website I want to buy the book from.
Once you have made the decision you can always then use a cashback site to actually buy the book.
