There may not be a more practical addition to the library of any book lover this year
than Stephen Windwalker's Buying Books Online.
Windwalker is the longtime bestselling author who writes books on online
bookselling. His latest book is entitled: The Complete Guide to Bookselling at
Amazon's Marketplace and Other Online Sites. In his new book Windwalker
demonstrates the same capacity for providing the inside scoop as he shows book
buyers how they can safely navigate the global internet book marketplace to find the
new, used, or rare books they want and need, in great condition, at huge savings.
For starters, Windwalker's book helps buyers to understand the basic terminology of
bookselling so that they will be able to distinguish between different copies of a title
with respect to condition, edition, binding, size, and age. They will learn how to
evaluate the apparent professionalism of a seller based on customer feedback, book
descriptions, customer service policies, and other available information, and are
provided with a helpful listing of the best places to buy books on the Internet. Beyond
these basics, the book buyers will pick up some useful "tricks of the trade:"
1) How to use "pre-orders" and "wants lists" to get the more scarce books you
seek, at the best possible prices;
2) When and how to use email to communicate with a seller to pin down
important information;
3) How to request and get special assistance in building a collection, acquiring a
set of an author’s first editions, or buying the books on your college course
syllabi;
4) How to read, use, and leave customer feedback to help yourself and other
potential buyers;
5) How to make the best use of available payment methods to protect yourself
against fraud and to get your orders shipped as quickly as possible;
6) When to consider re-selling or donating one or more of the books that you have
purchased, and how to make the most of that experience;
7) How to develop a quick reference checklist to evaluate a seller before clicking
through to submit a purchase; and much, much more.
