(Q) Is it safe to buy books online?
(A) Its as safe as buying goods in a
shop - and probably safer than buying by telephone.
(Q) Does it matter which country I am in?
(A) No - if we have a distributor near you, we
will attempt to automatically select that on your
behalf. If we select the wrong shipping desination, please use
the drop down menu to correct it. Some North American
sellers will only ship within the US, but many UK sellers ship
internationally.
(Q) I keep getting results from the wrong
country!
(A) If you use Windows, go to Control Panel,
and check your Regional Settings. Make sure that your Country
setting is correct. If we don't have a nearby distributor, we
will suggest many book distributors by default.
(Q) How do I use ISBNbookfinder to get the
ISBN of a book?
(A) Use either the author or title search boxes - if
there is a record of the book in the database, the ISBN will appear
in the search results on the right hand side of the results
table. We'd ask that you then buy that book, which will
compensate us for running this website.
(Q) I searched for a book by typing in the
author/title, how do I buy that book?
(A) Its easy - there should be links which
glow blue in the table, named 'Buy from' and then the name of the
book distributor - click on those 'hyperlinks' to buy the
books.
(Q) Is it cheaper or more expensive to use
this website?
(A) Its definitely not more expensive, and can often
save you money. We make a small commission from the book
distributor, but its taken out at their end - so you pay no
more. You can use our web site to save hundreds of dollars per
year, the more you use it, the more you will save.
(Q) Why use this particular book search
facility?
(A) Its very very fast compared to others -
and time is money!
(Q) What about second-hand books?
(Q) When I searched by ISBN, no books were
found!
(A) Some books are completely out-of-print and
unavailable.
(Q) When I searched by author or title, no
books were found!
(A) Really? Well, we're sorry - although
we have access to a HUGE database, it may not be complete.
(Q) I can't find the ISBN?
(A) Don't worry - use the author or title
search boxes and we will find it for you - generally takes less than
5 seconds!
