Are
You A Rare Book Expert?
We are looking for booksellers to join our "Ask the Expert" panel
as part of our newest e-mail newsletter, The Avid Collector. If
you are interested, please e-mail us at rarebooks@abebooks.com.
Facebook & Abebooks
Just in time for textbook season, we've partnered with Facebook,
a social networking Web site with over 7.5 million members - most of them
college and university students. We'll be creating a landing page on Facebook
that will direct students to Abebooks to find their textbooks - so be sure
to check out our Textbook Selling Tips, above!
NEW:
The Customer Advisory Board
Based on the success of the Bookseller Advisory Group, we created
the Customer Advisory Board specifically for Abebooks book buyers. These
Advisory Board members will have the chance to help shape the Web site's
buyer-specific products and features. We are looking forward to hearing
their feedback, and will regularly report back to you on our findings.
