Introduction
|
Use METAPRICES to search for books and compare prices at major
online book stores! METAPRICES is a free service for online comparison
shopping*. Once
you select a title, our spider searches the Web for the most current prices
at several online book stores and presents the results sorted by price
so you can compare
before you shop. Besides being easy to use, our price engine only
compares prices for the specific book you want (instead of swamping you with
prices for irrelevant items like at other comparison shopping sites.)

How to use this site
| Step 1: Search for Books |
The first step is to search for what you want by typing in an Author, Title, or Subject keywords for a book into a search box like the one at the top
of this page. Remember to select a search by Author, Title, or
Subject
by using the drop down menu. Type in a name or title words and click
on the Go! button to begin the search. Results are returned with matches
to your search terms highlighted.
If no matches were found, make sure you spelled your terms correctly,
otherwise we probably don't have the book you are looking for in our database. |
| Step 2: Navigate the results |
Search results are presented in tables according to Title,
Author, Store, or Price. Clicking on a hyperlink
refines your search:
-
Click on a Title to search the web for the prices on that
book.
-
Click on a Price to visit an online book store and shop
for the book.
|
| Step 3: Compare prices |
When you select a Title, our spider searches the web to find
the current prices for the book at several online book stores. This
may take up to a minute. The result is a list of online stores and
their prices for that book. |
| Step 4: Shop at a store |
You can visit an online store and view their web page for a book
by clicking
on a Price. |
