Searching the Books of a Specific Bookseller


 
Occasionally, you may wish to purchase books from a specific bookseller or from booksellers in a specific location. There are two advantages to this: First, you can reduce the cost of shipping by finding booksellers close to you or by ordering multiple items from the same seller. Second, you can search the inventory of a bookseller with an area of specialty that interests you. You can also use this feature to find bookstores in your area.

To search for a bookseller:

 

  • Click [Bookstores] in the red banner.
  • Click a letter of the alphabet to list books beginning with the selected letter.


~ Or ~

  • Type a bookstore name, or portion of a name, in the Name: text box. Click [Search].


~ Or ~

  • Select a country from the Country drop-down list and, if desired, further refine your search by selecting a province or state from the Location drop-down list. Click [Search].

 

Once you have found a bookseller whose inventory you would like to search, click [Search their Books] or [Browse their Books].

You can also search a particular bookseller’s inventory by clicking [More Books from this Seller] within any book listing.
