First in books and second to none in this category
The First and second .com site was recomended to me by one of my friend. I occasionally visit such sites when I need to find some good book on some subject.
Normally as all the first preference would be Amazon . com but If you are someone from india I would recomend that you look this site first the reason being that the site provides with Indian Reprint books also.
It has got a very good collection and search mechanism. The search results show a detailed report of the book, author, the rates, publisher and time taken to dispatch the book etc., Also some books have sample pages showing a outlook of the book before buying it...
The cost of book that is around 1000 may come to Rs.250/- if it is an indian reprint when the content is most important and the book you are to buy is for you then this site would be a better place to look.
Although I am unaware about the service of this site it surely gives a good overview of the books available and the searching and other things are although similar to that in amazon .com
I would like to share one of my recent experiance with Firstandsecond.com
Recently happened to buy books to the tune of Rs.35000/- . Had a talk with the sales persons in the FirstandSecond.com and they were able to give more discounts. ie., In the site only a few of the books were discounted from 10 to 30 %. On those books that were not discounted the F&S people gave me a discount of 20% on indian books and 10% on international books. The total amount of discount was around 4000/- (A decent amount ) for books that were really good.
