We Compare Books Review

Following an earlier post on textbook search engines, is a review of a site called We Compare Books. The home page is very simple with a search bar that gets straight to the point. A simple search under "Chemistry" brings me to a list of books though of course using the advanced search function would probably help narrow things down. Once you found the book you want, the site kicks into gear and gives you the best price available. Now if you're curious about the other vendor's prices, that information is also available. The priced link takes you directly to the seller making the purchasing experience fast. What is also neat about this site is that it provides a blog that posts articles such as how to not buy books but still have access to them or what an ISBN really is. This makes We Compare Books a unique site by combining a textbook search engine and an informative blog.
