What it does

SlugBooks is the easiest way to compare textbook prices so that you can buy or rent books cheap.

To compare prices of multiple books at the same time, just enter a list of ISBNs separated by commas or spaces. For example, searching for "9780393347258,9780451205766,9780312361815" will return a price comparison for all three books. If you prefer searching for one book at a time, we store your most recent book searches in the sidebar, so you'll still only be one click away. No need to copy/paste the same ISBN twice! ISBNs are 10 or 13 digit numbers that identify a specific edition of a specific textbook. Go to your university website or class syllabus and find the ISBN numbers of your required books! We'll make it easy to compare prices online! Simply search for these numbers in the box…from slugbooks.com
