November 30, 2006 - Online book operation could save you money
Online shopping site of the week: Abellabooks.com (www.abellabooks.com).
With textbook costs soaring, Abellabooks.com is a serious money-saver. The site, established in 1998, is a small family-run book operation out of Salt Lake City. They offer a wide array of books for students in preschool through medical school, in addition to novels and reference material.
Books are listed with a condition (most often: "No interior writing or highlighting. May have slight shelfwear."), as well as a description of the book. No photos here, but how often do you buy a textbook based on the cover art?
You can browse by category — a two-page list includes groupings like Insurance Textbooks, Child Development Textbooks and Reference Guides — or search by title or author. If you can't find what you want online, you can submit a form for an offline search and Abellabooks will locate what you want.
In addition to filling any textbook needs, we think it's a great place for book-club books and college test prep guides (with study prep for AP tests, ACTs and SATs).
