  1. addall.com by caite · · Score: 1 · on Online Bookstores for Technical Books?
    Generally for technical books I search at addall.com (www.addall.com) and purchase from whatever place has the best price on all the books I was buying. Since they vouch for their merchants, it seems a decent place to start. That's actually how I started ordering from bookpool.

    Both addall and bookpool are pretty decent.

  2. Re:Where can I find the book? by Sprockie · · Score: 1 · on Creation: Life And How to Make It

    A search on AddAll revealed several bookstores in Europe and Canada that has the book. This link should help: http://www.addall.com/New/submitNew.cgi?location=2 0000&state=AK&dispCurr=USD&type=ISBN&query=0-297-6 4391-6

    On a side note - AddAll gave me this quote while doing the search:

    "GOD finds himself by creating."

    It must be alive. ;)

  4. Re:Super Heroes by Garthnak · · Score: 1 · on Stranger In a Strange Land
    Not all of Heinlein's books are about "Super Heroes". One of my favorites of his books was called Orphans of the Sky. Every character in this book had flaws, and almost every character grew in some way (unless they were too stubborn to do so).

    Actually, it was not really a "book"; originally, it was a combination of two short stories published as a series in a pulp sci-fi magazine in the 40's. But it was excellent.

    Orphans of the Sky is rather short (128 pages in my paperback here), but an excellent read which I highly recommend. My copy was published in 1965, and I can not find an ISBN on it, but after a short search I found hardcovers with ISBN 0399106138 at Half.com and barnesandnoble.com. Check out www.addall.com for good book price comparisons.

    Man, forget bookpool. Try http://www.addall.com. It's a price search engine that includes shipping. It freaking rocks.

  6. Another good book-finding resource (Re:Library?) by schussat · · Score: 1 · on Hackers
    Library's a good suggestion. Another good book-finding resource (saved me about $45 on a hideously expensive statistics textbook) is addall. Give it your request and it will return a list of 30 or 40 online retailers that sell it, ranked by price. They do used books, too.

  7. Online comparison shopping, the way it should be! by fugue · · Score: 1 · on Amazon Charging Different Prices for Same Items?

    Try addall, otherwise known as bookarea. Checks about 32 online book dealers, adds shipping, subtracts current coupons, and lists all prices for your perusal. Wonderful service!

  8. Need more help... by Carnage4Life · · Score: 2 · on Pattern Hatching: Design Patterns Applied

    I've read design patterns and agree that it is one of the most useful books I've ever read (right up there with books by Scott Meyers, Sedgewick and Bjarne Stousstrup)...Click on the Amazon link to read several comprehensive user reviews of the book just in case the link above seemed rather dry to you.

    PS: Please do not buy this book on Amazon. Go to Addall and find a vendor. Please keep up the boycott...thank you.

  9. INS is no one's friend by / · · Score: 2 · on Workers - Including Linus - Left in Limbo by INS

    As Jon Wiener described in his book Gimmee Some Truth about John Lennon's harassment by the FBI and the INS, it's mighty inconvenient to be even a famous foreign national in the US. I have no real reason to suspect Linus is getting singled out for special nettling, but just as the INS tried to deport Lennon for his overthrow-the-establishment political rhetoric, perhaps it wouldn't be too farfetched to suspect certain segments of the software industry of trying to suppress Linus and his certain open-source ideologies.

    Hopefully this will serve as an example of why the current bureaucracies and laws need massive reforms. I can hope, can't I?

  10. Meta engines by dkm · · Score: 2 · on ebay vs Search Engines

    I've often wondered how meta search engines get away with this type of practice. I have noticed that Metacrawler doesn't advertize much, attributes links to the engines that provided them, and seems to sometimes have ads from the other engines that it searches.

    Site that try to find the best price for items must pose an even more troublesome problem for online retailers. There's a site that search 20+ online booksellers and returns their prices. A site like this will bring some business to your site but will force you to lower your margins to compete.

  11. Re:Use BookPool, not Amazon by jbaugher · · Score: 1 · on Review:Beginning Linux Programming

    Even better, go to AddALL, and search for lowest price. It's like PriceWatch for books.

  12. No, link to price comparisons... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Review:The Practice of Programming
    Let's push for links to price-comparing websites. That's one of the major powers of on-line commerce, and we should use it. The current lowest price I can find (shipping to CA) is from Amazon, but that could change.
