Living overseas, it's sometimes difficult to find the books I want in a bookstore. Getting a copy of Blind Assassin in Israel last year was very difficult. Now, living in Poland, it's hard to find books in English at all. The nearest bookstore with any real selection in English is over an hour's train ride away. Even then, they are very limited in their selection. What makes things even more difficult for me is that I'm doing research on a dissertation, and often the books I want would be hard to find even at a normal bookstore back home. The material is often specialized and technical. Some of it, sadly, is out of print.
Allbooks4less.com doesn't always have everything I want, but so far I've come up with about 95% of the books I wanted through their webpage. The site itself is easy to navigate. With just a few key words, I can search for the topics I want. I can also search by title or author. The books really do sell for considerably less than at other sites. Most attractive to me is that I have never had to deal with a book that they listed in stock that wasn't there. If they say they have the book, they have it.
My last order of textbooks from allbooks4less.com would have cost me $89.75 at Amazon.com and ended up costing me only $47.30 at allbooks4less.com. My shipping is always a nightmare because I live overseas, but they got my things sent out and everything arrived in the condition it was advertised. I have bought from them 7 times in the past year and always was very satisfied with them. They deliver what, when and how they say they will.
I can't tell you about their customer service people because their service has always been so good up front that I've never had to deal with them by email or phone to complain. That's perhaps the best recommendation I can make.
Allbooks4less.com has won me over. I am a loyal customer and can confidently suggest that you try them out.
