Which is the best book price comparison site?

Hi

I was wondering which is the best book price comparison site? I am going to be buying quite alot of books and I want to buy the cheapest new books. I have seen some book price comparison sites, but I want to know which is best.

Cheers

    Try https://www.addall.com - only came across it during research the other day. Scope is vast, but can be fine-tuned.
    What sort of books will you be after?

  • I like https://www.bookkoob.co.uk, it lets you compare prices, takes postage costs into account and if you need to buy more than one book, you can find out whether it's cheaper to buy from one place or two separate places.

    What is interesting is that i have used a lot of the above to buy books recently and it appears the bookdepository always seems to come out cheapest in the search engines. Always pays to check though :)

    Thank you everyone - I didn't know these special book comparison sites existed! Froogle etc seem to be rubbish for books.
    Incidentally, don't know if anyone else has noticed but amazon seem to have become a lot more competitive -- with the free postage on over 15 quid spend they are now pretty much always cheaper than places like play.com which used to be much better value.
