Hi Roger and everyone!I just visited booksearch.com and followed the link "About Booksearch.com", and here is what it says:

Pardon me, when I mentioned Booksearch.com what I was actually thinking of was BookFinder.com. I just had a brief moment of confusion. However, it occurred to me that BookSearch.com sounded like something that would really exist, so I just checked. Indeed, there is a BookSearch.com. At first glance, though, I am not so sure that it is a place to find low priced books._ _ _ "Socialism is an attack on poverty." - W. E. B.

I think Thrift Books tends to beat them on price though. Note that I said tends. That is, on some specific titles you might very well find an even better price at some of these other sites._ _ _ "Socialism is an attack on poverty." - W. E. B.

At Thrift Books they are graded acceptable, good, very good and like new. You can expect the higher quality to tend to be more expensive. In my experience if a site is loading slowly at one time it may very well be loading quickly another time. That could just mean that the traffic is high right now. If you try again at an off time it might work better. _ _ _ "Socialism is an attack on poverty." - W. E. B.

Also, are the books of good quality? Thanks and best regards, Kim. _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Susan Sent: Monday, June 14, 2010 7:03 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Ot: book buying Hi Kim, I sent it. It's thriftbooks.com and it just takes a long time to totally load, for some reason! The Internet, as a whole, seems to be very slow here tonight! There are lots of images but I have been to sites like this one before so I'm used to it. They shipped a book to me on Thursday, so, we'll see how long it takes me to receive it. I believe the site said it could take from 4 to 18 days. Good luck with it!
