Tips for book browsing/buying

I am in a posting mood right now so I thought I would list some tips you could use when looking for a book or even buying one.

1. If you see a book you really like or find interesting but don't want to pay the cover or store price, type the book title and author into your phone and save it as a message so when you get home you can look it up on Amazon.com and more then likely you will find it for much cheaper.

2. If you have a Iphone, which sadly I don't,you can use the price match app which tells you what stores have the book for less.

3.If you are ever wondering when a author you like is coming out with a new book, go to their website to check it out, most of the time you will see a new book and the date it is coming out.

4. If you are waiting for a new book to come out but don't want to pay full price, go to Amazon.com, look up the title and click on Pre-Order. When you Pre-Order the book, it will be half the original price and it takes the money out of your account that day and when the book is released, it will be shipped to your house.

5.When going to a bookstore, go to the clearence section first. I know first hand that you can find some great books for dirt cheap. You may just find a book or two you have been wanting in the clearence section. When I go to Borders or Half-Price I go straight for the clearence.

6. USE COUPONS!!!! If you are a border's member they will send you coupons thru your email, just print them out and use it! If you don't have a membership sign up for one, it's free! Also, at Border's if you are a border's plus member like myself( that is $20 a yr), you get an additional 10% off no matter what, so you are saving extra money every time you go. Also, if you are not on the Half-Price books mailing list, get on it! They send you coupons thru the mail and several at a time. Coupons are awesome!
