Directory of Books Resources

Home > Regional > Europe > United Kingdom > Business and Economy > Shopping > Publications > Books

Sites whose primary focus is for UK consumers to select and obtain Books over the Web. For example:

1. Online shopping-cart systems that allow the user to order directly over the Web
2. Systems that allow the user to generate an order form to be sent to the merchant via fax or snail-mail
3. Simple directories of products and prices that the user can order via mail or phone.

The key is that the site contains three elements: (1) lists of products for sale, (2) prices and (3) information on how the consumer can obtain the product from their own home.
