| Hello Listers.
I am very interested to compare prices between many book websites (amazon, bookpool and many more) I have tried www.isbn.nu, is there another which lists almost all online bookstores?
Best regards.
Have a nice weekend.

| I don't know about a site where you can compare prices but I can tell you that I've shopped around and have always gotten the best price and really great customer service at www.bookpool.com. They are always cheaper than Amazon for a new book. Also, ebay is a good place to look. Sometimes people sell their study stuff...look under "Cisco" | |

| You could try Ebay and get it for really cheap?? Just goto the Ebay site and search on the word Cisco CCNA and tons will come up for under $10.00.
Good luck!! | |
|
| I will try both suggestions.
Thank you all!

| Usually I used www.bookpool.com.
Let me try Ebay and see. | |

| I agreed. Look very careful on the shipping and service charge! | |

| i also like www.fatbrain.com. very similar to amazon but often cheaper with pricing and shipping. and they have just as much inventory as amazon since they are owned by barnes and noble now (bn.com).
and then there's http://lcis.booksonline.com
this is really only good to get some high-priced books for cheap INITIALLY! you sign up and take one of their introductory offers but have to buy 3 or 4 more throughout the year at regular price. they don't have stellar shipping but the customer service is decent. i picked up a $120 w2k kit for free (well, i had to pay shipping so about $15) + 2 other books when i signed up. and i have ordered a few others from them but wasn't in a hurry to get them so i could wait. review what you see and make your decision about them. | |

| I'd be careful of booksonline. I've really had a lot of trouble getting books in a timely fashion from them. The Exam Cram set I ordered when I was working on my first MSCE took 3 months to arrive and I recently ordered a couple of books to meet my requirement with them and still haven't received them after 8 weeks. | |

ouch girl! have you called them? i was waiting for a ADS ExamCram back in december and it was taking too long (they DO ship standard 4th class "book rate"). they said to wait up 9 days and if it wasn't there then to call back. i did after about 12 days and they sent me another at no charge for the book or shipping and said if the original turns up to just keep it or whatever... well, the day after i called them, the original happened to show up -- i think the USPS had been using it as a door stop in the snow! then 2 more days and i had the replacement book. i gave the original water damaged book to a friend and used the new one to pass my test. i felt that they took good care of me.
and then today, i checked my bonus credits to see if i was going to lose anything by cancelling my membership and saw taht i had 5 credits. 4 credits are required to get a book at half price -- so i ordered the ExamCram Core Four (MCSE 2000) for 59.99. Amazon and FatBrain both had this kit for 83.99. shipping is $6.49 but can (as stated) take some time so i opted for the expidited for additional 3.95. total price is 70.43. $13 less than fatbrain or amazon + they will add shipping. so, if my kit gets here by saturday like it should, then i'm happy. if not, i will be cancelling my membership for sure.
anyway... my 2 pennies. | |
