One of the best places for books
BD offers such a large range of books at a very reasonable price.

To be honest, it was one of the first places where Australians could buy books at overseas prices back when it was first launched, and probably still one of the few.

I have ordered a few paperbacks and a hardcover and all of them arrived in good condition but not without a few wear and tear around a few of the paperbacks though.

Shipping is free to Australia, but it does take a week or two since its based in the UK i believe. But for such reasonable prices you shouldn't complain much.

Impressed
So I had specifically purchased 'Sarah's Key', a novel, as a gift for a friend. I was really impressed, fast delivery ( 8 working days) and the book was in great condition. It was also more convenient, because Im finding it harder to find real life book stores nowadays. It was also much cheaper than buying it from a real life store. Definitely worth checking it out!

Best place to source for books
Definitely will shop here again. Books are alot cheaper compared to those sold in bookstores.
Books are shipped individually in a flat cardbox envelope, it might be a hassle to some. Shipping to Australia took 9 days for all my items.

Did not require much communication with customer service as everything was fairly straightforward and the website has a good reputation.

No issues with any item purchased, came in mint condition.

Discounts are great for most items but the best part of shopping here has to be the free shipping.

Cheap Books
My friend recommended this website to me as I was looking for the "Lesser Key of Solomon". Not many online book stores sell this book. She said that they have a wide range and at good prices. I checked it out and it was true. I found the book that I wanted in no time at all and bought the book with my credit card. The website is based in the UK and so delivery took sometime (roughly about 2 weeks) but delivery was free with the purchase. I recommend this website for anyone wanting to purchase a book online. It may take a while but the range and variety of the books on sale is massive. It's a good online book store.

Cactus Book
I ordered The Complete Book of Cacti and Succulents almost 2 weeks ago. Shipping is a bit slow, but free.

The prices on Book Depository always seems to be lower than other online stores, like Fishpond.

Their search engine is pretty smart, so finding the books I'm after is quite easy.

The Book Depository
I ordered a book "The Shore of Pearls" from Book Depository on the 2nd of January. The book arrived a short 10 day wait later, it was packaged nicely in a cardboard envelope with only a very small crease in the top right hand corner. Book Depository offers free worldwide shipping which swayed me to purchase from them as the prices are comparable with other online retailers (and definitely better than a brick and mortar store) without exorbitant shipping fees. Although it must be checked when buying the book that you are buying the exact version you want as book depository does have a very large range including several different versions of the same book and even some books in different languages. I did not have too much trouble with it however.
