Good Points: Cheap, delivery just £2.95 no matter how large your order, next day delivery, fast browsing.

Bad Points: Rather garish site, not the largest selection and navigation is a litle unintuitive for book browsers.

General comments: If you want to find cheap computer books then you've come to the right place. "Cheaper than amazon...cheaper than BOL.." reads the byline and it's true, they are, often greatly so. If you're looking for any other kind of book though you're out of luck, this is a specialist online shop dealing solely in computer books.

Ignoring the absolutely foul bright yellow and muddy red colour scheme this is a site that is well worth bookmarking if you find yourself buying a lot of computer books. The selection isn't exactly enormous, in fact it's rather small indeed compared to the hundreds of thousands of titles offered by other online sites but you might get luck and with savings like these it's worth checking out here first than anywhere else.

Browsing around the site is fast, mainly because it is virtually devoid of graphics and, erm, unfortunately pretty devoid of information as well...forget book summaries or reviews there's nothing like that offered here. Still, you can always find all that info on a more expensive site and then buy here ;o)

Delivery charges are £2.95 per order, not per book, so order 1 book or 100 and the delivery charge is the same AND books ordered today are guaranteed to arrive the next day by courier. I've ordered from them just the once before but they honoured their next day delivery and I ordered rather late in the afternoon too so no complaints there at all. They do deliver internationally as well but naturally costs are higher as are delivery times!

Basically, this is a very basic site offering you really cheap prices on computer books. There are no frills here just good prices and fast delivery...can't say fairer than that really.
