New Books Resources
Bookpool (Up to 45% off new books)
This online bookstore offers prices up to 45% off of new books. There are
varieties of books mainly technical books. I dealt with them for the last
6 years and have no trouble so far. They do not provide toll free number for
their customer service though. Shipping an handling a little expensive compared
with Barnes and Nobles or Amazon.com, but they started offering free shipping once in a while.
Review for books is available, and their site support title, author, ISBN, and
keyword search.
Barnes & Noble
Barnes and Noble is famous for its huge selection. They do have books from all
aspects. You can search for new, used, and out of print books.
Their prices are competetive compared with other online bookstores specially
their main rival
Amazon.COM. Once in a while, they do offer
coupons. They have an outstanding customer service (One of the best I delt
with). Their shipping charges go from cheap to reasonable.
They have a bargin section that offer good bargin prices, but the selection is
very limited.
Review for books is available, and their site support title, author, ISBN, and
keyword search. Their rating system allows you to see what others say about
a particular title (The review is not always available though).
Amazon.COM
Amazon has a huge selection of books and other goods. They do have books from
all aspects. You can search for new, used, and out of print books.
Their prices are bit expensive compared with other online bookstores specially
their main rival Barnes & Noble.
Don't know much about their customer service. Did place an order for an out
of print book, my order lasted more than 3 months and had to cancel it. I
found the book some place else.
Used Books Resources
Advanced Book Exchange
This is the most complete site that you can use to search for used books. This
is the main search engine that is linked to a lot of online used bookstores.
Since this is linked to a lot of online bookstore, the price for a particular
book may vary from one bookstore to the other. Before you decide to buy a
certain book, make sure you get the best deal.
Each bookstore sets its own policy and its own payment method. I tried few
used bookstores, and they work fine. Before placing any order make sure to have
enough informatin about the book, such as condition, if there is any writing on
it and things like that.
For your own safety, NEVER SUBMIT YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION VIA E-MAIL
. I usually prefer to use payment via credit card, I don't prefer to pay
via checks or money order. Customer service differs from one store to the
other.
Book-Finder
This is a book shopping search engine that scans bookseller databases to find
new, used, rare, and out of print books. Their search engine supports search
using Author, title, keywords, price range, format, and binding.

Vocabulary of Alliteration
This Vocabulary of Alliteration is a new aid in writing poems and songs.
(and in the study of phonetic or phonemic syllable divisions in English).
Alliteration is one of several aural devices in literature making use of the
repetition of single sounds or groups of sounds.
You may find the color of text yellow (if they didn't change it yet), which
makes it hard to read. You have to highlight it using your mouse to make it
readable.
