I just went to check them out, and besides attempting to be a carbon-copy of Amazon.com, their prices are NOT better than on Amazon. I compared recently purchased books off Amazon with half.com and there was no comparison for a lower rate on Amazon. /anne > > > >From: estabanhl <estabanhl@b...> > >Reply- @y... > > @y... > >Subject: Source for Books > >Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 16:44:34 -0600 > > > >Earlier today asked whether anyone knew of sources for specific > >books. > > > >For those of you who do not know of it, half.com a subsidiary of eBay, > >is an on line source for books.

I always do best at half.com, second best at and Nobel , and worst on amazon every time. I make a point to check all three each time. and Nobel - buying two or more books at a time is free shipping. Amazon charges for shipping per wearhouse. Also - there is a really great web site for second hand books: http://www.abebooks.com I have found some of the truly obscure books I have been hunting down at this sight. -- Warm Regards, Bethanne Elion Volhard Nutrition List Owner Poultney, Vermont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
