How To Buy Books At A 10 % Discount Off Amazon.com Prices

NEWSFLASH: AMAZON.COM IS GREEDY!


There's a little known shopping tip that shows why marketing and branding work even when it's not in the best interest of the customer. . . Almost everyone "knows" that Amazon.com is the place to go for buying books cheap online.

Unless you're in a rush and need to pick up the book locally at
Borders Books, Barnes and Nobles, or other local bookseller, you know that you can get the same exact book for the lowest price by ordering online at Amazon.com, right? NOPE.


AMAZON.COM DOES NOT PASS ON THE MAXIMUM SAVINGS TO IT'S CUSTOMERS


Amazon.com is NOT the cheapest place to get books online. And I'm not talking about "sales" on select books or categories, or temporary price cuts. I'm talking about everyday pricing, where you can consistently find the cheapest prices for books. But you CAN go to another reputable online bookseller that's consistently cheaper than Amazon.com on over 900,000 books in the catalog.





Would You Like To Know Who Is The Cheapest Source For Books Online and Offline?

Cheaper than Amazon.comBuy.com. While it's better known for cheap electronics, Buy.com actually has a huge catalog of books that are priced at 10% off Amazon.com prices on almost 1 million books. So there's no reason to buy from Amazon.com anymore, unless you like giving your money away.




Yes, A Way To Get 10% Off Amazon Prices + ADDITIONAL Discounts!


And as an added bonus, if you want to search a little, you can usually find online coupons and promo codes for Buy.com that you can apply which really makes leaving Amazon.com sensible.

Here's a sampling of current promotions that you can use to create bigger discounts and save more money on books.

The other BIG fact that most online shoppers don't know or forget is that these online booksellers also sell all the major textbooks too. In fact, they sell both new AND USED Textbooks!
So you don't have to be ripped off by the campus bookstore anymore. I remember one year, I paid over $1000 for books at the campus bookstore (yes, yes, it was my parents who "paid", but I still signed that credit card receipt!). Imagine keeping more than $100 in my pocket to spend on other things...Just don't forget about Buy.com and Amazon's textbook store when you're doing your drop/add of classes each semester!

20% Off Oprah's Book Club Selection at Borders Books

Read an excerpt from this month's selection from Oprah's Book Club: "Middlesex",
ISBN: 0312427735

Spanning eight decades and chronicling the wild ride of a Greek-American family through the vicissitudes of the twentieth century, Jeffrey Eugenides' witty, exuberant novel on one level tells a traditional story about three generations of a fantastic, absurd, lovable immigrant family -- blessed and cursed with generous doses of tragedy and high comedy.

But there's a provocative twist. Cal, the narrator -- also Callie -- is a hermaphrodite. And the explanation for this takes us spooling back in time, through a breathtaking review of the twentieth century, to 1922, when the Turks sacked Smyrna and Callie's grandparents fled for their lives. Back to a tiny village in Asia Minor where two lovers, and one rare genetic mutation, set our narrator's life in motion.

Middlesex is a grand, utterly original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of desire. It's a brilliant exploration of divided people, divided families, divided cities and nations -- the connected halves that make up ourselves and our world. Justly acclaimed when it was released in Fall 2002, it announces the arrival of a major writer for our times.
