NeoScholar

From time to time, Alibris offers discount coupons or promotional codes.

So, until Wednesday, June 27, 2007 you can use the following:

When you click through to buy a book, you can enter the promo or coupon code for a discount on the last page.

Note: discount is only off book purchase prices, not including shipping cost!

Ever wanted to find all the books in a page?

Perhaps there are a list of ISBNs with no links? This is often the case with some academic works.

So I’ve built the “Nescholar – Books in Page” tool

This link below can be installed or added to your favourites.

NeoScholar – Books in Page

For Firefox – Drag the link to your toolbar

For IE – Right Click the link – add to favourites

How do you use it?

When your on a page you want to scan just click the link from your favourites or tool bar. It’s that simple. Hopefully we’ll know whats on that page.

Modern tools, such as YouTube, allow many to express their ideas and observations.

Here we have a brilliant video demonstrating the changes and styles in female portraits over the last 500 years.

Recently I mentioned that International Shipping rates were up.

And then I stumbled upon, BetterWorld.com. From their site:

Can you fund literacy, care for the environment,
and get a fair price on the books you want?
Yep. You’re doing it right now.

I think that’s pretty cool.

So, I don’t have any magic way of searching their database, and showing the results when you search for a book. But you might want to take a look.

It’s $2.97 USD to ship internationally !

That’s $9 – $10 cheaper than Amazon.com and Alibris.

I am still waiting for my book to arrive (should be a few weeks).

It’s Another option for grabbing a bargain and helping fun literacy in underprivileged countries overseas.
