So you have found the book you are looking for. You have used a good book price comparison website and you are ready to buy your book. Or so you think. Do not rush to buy that book even though you have the lowest price on the planet. First, broaden your search.
What does broaden your search mean? It means start searching with the title and try to find different editions. Sometimes a book’s content – not only textbooks but most commonly novels – does not change between editions yet the newer editions are priced higher. This is simply due to inflation. If several years go by between two editions then the basic book price for a book type (paperback, hard cover, etc.) will have risen. However you do not have to pay simply because a new edition is out. Just broaden your search and look for earlier editions. Try searching with parts of the title or under the author’s name. Try searching through more results, sometimes the results that are relevant to you are hidden lower in the results’s list. When you have found more than one edition of the book you are looking for, you can compare the prices for each edition, using the ISBN. This way you can be sure you are buying the lowest priced one and still get exactly what you want.
