Your Opinion Of 2 Online Bookstores


Recommended Posts

Posted

I know Megabooks has an actual store, but they have an online ordering option. Several months ago I had read reviews saying Megabooks needs to improve their online ordering system. Have any TV members ordered from them recently? I'd especially like to hear from expats not living in Bangkok. What was the delivery time?

I also just discovered an online bookstore called Thailandusedbooks.com. They have a pretty good page ranking, so it's certainly being used. Have any TV members ordered from this online used book store and what was your experience with it?

For those of you who have no access to book stores or libraries, how do you get your books?

Follow-up question: For those of you not living in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, which book stores do you use and are there any libraries where you live that have English titles you have found useful?

Thanks TVers!

Believe Dasa Books also has an online ordering system. They're on Sukumvit down past Soi 26. http://www.dasabookcafe.com/

Anyway, I've not used any of these, as yet. Usually try to stock up on 2nd hand pocket books while vacationing in the U.S. and snail mail them back. Used to be great when the USPS had the "M-Bag" deal, just $1 a pound via sea freight, I'd used this often in the past, sadly no more. Looking for other ideas for cheap books. Best deal I've seen in the U.S. is to check your local "Friends of the Library" outlet, usually 50 cents a book!

Thanks, Mac. I love Dasa and shall recommend their online option.

Bumping this topic up, I'd really like to hear from more of you!
