This has the makings of a good site. Not because of the way it
looks - which isn’t bad - but because of what it does. This is a genuine
attempt to establish a new UK business on the Net by exploiting many of
the real benefits of the medium.
Easy to use throughout, Bookpages allows you to search a huge database
of published books online, by title, author, publisher or genre, and
then follow through and order.
It guarantees competitive prices and fast delivery on all UK books (free
UK delivery for orders of more than pounds 25), and it clearly explains
its policy on sourcing and delivering obscure titles. Registration is
encouraged through the Bookpoints loyalty scheme - 1 point per 20p spent
online - and you can check your points status and then redeem them
online.
If you fancy browsing the latest releases, new titles are reviewed under
genre sections, and visitors to the site are encouraged to write and
submit book reviews.
