The internet has added a wonderful new dimension to the world of bookstores with people now able to comfortably shop for their favorite books online.

Some of the better known outlets such as Boarders bookstores and Barnes And Noble bookstores offer shoppers an excellent choice of books in all categories but there was a time when you would have to actually visit these stores to find your favorite reading material.

Now it can be done from the comfort of your own home and while many still like to visit book outlets in person because of their excellent amenities, the truth is, in a busy world, being able to search online for your book, order it and have it delivered straight to your door saves an enormous amount of time.

On Line Bookstores

With Amazon and Ebay also becoming major selling outlets for books, the choice of product is extensive. There is also the added advantage of being able to get a sneak peak at many of the books online and they are usually accompanied with extensive reviews from devoted readers.

Family christian bookstores are also popular with christian books becoming increasingly popular especially in the western world. And again, there is no shortage of choice for searchers online with bookstores available covering a wide range of topics.

The internet has made it a smaller world and where bookstores are concerned, you can now narrow your selection and search to your specific area. While Boarders and Barnes And Noble are available in most areas, specialty book outlets provide an excellent alternative to the major outlets.

And searching for them online is a breeze and better still, many are set up with professional websites featuring previews and reviews and purchasing set up.

One of the major innovations in recent years has been the introduction of audio books. With the ipod and mp3 players making a major im[pact on society around the world over the past decade, it made sense that audio books would be a natural follow on and they have impacted us in a big way.

Audio Books Have Made A Big Impact

One of the major advantages with audio books is the same advantage ebooks have over physical books. They are an instant download. While the physical version of a book will have greater value we live in a society where patience is low and people have a "I want it now attitude." Is that you?

With audio books, you can download them to your favorite player and away you go. It's done in real time. It's one of the reasons ebooks have become big business. The added advantage is that you can listen or read them on your computer or simply download to your player or print them. It's that quick and easy.

Bookstoreheaven.com has been created to help you in all areas of your book search from previews to reviews to readers opinions plus specific locations and we are on a mission to bring you the best price searches for whatever book in whatever niche you are looking for.

Best science fiction books http://bookstoreheaven.com/best-science-fiction-books/ http://bookstoreheaven.com/best-science-fiction-books/#comments Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:22:06 +0000 BookStoreHeaven http://bookstoreheaven.com/best-science-fiction-books/ Best science fiction books

This is one dubious question that everyone wants to ask on Google, which is the best sci-fi book of all time. This isnt really as simple as a movie where Citizen Kane would proclaim the award every time. Books are different; no two ways going about it. Everyone one has their preferences and everyone has their choices, and just because you related to a post or article on Google, doesnt make that book an all time best sci-fi book, it only makes it a # 1 book in the list of a select few who agree with such articles and blogs. I have seen many web blogs, and articles talking about top 10 or top 5 sci-fi books of all time, but remember, they are only individual choices not an all around votes. This is why the novels I will mention are not all time best novels, but are my personal choice.

My first sci-fi novel has to be 2001 Space Odyssey: This is by far the essence of human soul and existence; a path to our past, a way to know ourselves a little better.

The story of 2001 space odyssey is about a black metallic monolith being discovered on the moon, which was planted there about three million years ago by an intelligent entity. But that isnt the beginning either, the first Monolith was first planted during the early period when apes ruled the world. One morning when they discover the monolith, their DNA began to change; not by touching or praying, but by being in its presence. The advance civilization planted these monoliths for humans as a way to advance themselves during a certain period when man moved from one stage of existence to the other. I do not want to explain the entire story, but my personal fascination with human origins led me to make this my number one sci-fi book, which only leads me to my number two book.

KYIRUX: The Message of Pascal: If 2001 is Dr. J, then Kyirux has to be the MJ of its time. The torch has been passed from one great novel to the other. Kyirux follows a similar path to 2001 space odyssey, but it has taken the information of an advance civilization to a whole new level, which is much closer to us than we think. The premise of the novel revolves around a 500 hundred million year old computer which is discovered by Jack Crawford, perhaps one of my favorite characters and hero in a sci-fi novel. Jack is a very familiar face, because he is us, with the same questions, concern and attitude towards the real world. This computer not only tells us about the true origins of human, but it takes into the far beyond the reaches of the universe, and tells us what is physical matter which exists in the domain of darkness; but, what is darkness? Yes, this novel and its other parts will drive you brain to insanity, because the author is far more capable of thinking like an advance alien being than a normal reader.

Kyirux II: The Hidden History was another milestone for the author as it surpassed my expectation as a sequel which usual isnt very good; but this novel truly changed all that for me. If Kyirux one provided the essence of human existence, Kyirux two provide the seed of our intelligence.

The Rats Of Hamelin: A Piper’s Tale, Christian fantasy – a Book Review http://bookstoreheaven.com/the-rats-of-hamelin-a-pipers-tale-christian-fantasy-a-book-review/ http://bookstoreheaven.com/the-rats-of-hamelin-a-pipers-tale-christian-fantasy-a-book-review/#comments Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:08:31 +0000 BookStoreHeaven http://bookstoreheaven.com/the-rats-of-hamelin-a-pipers-tale-christian-fantasy-a-book-review/ The Rats Of Hamelin: A Piper's Tale, Christian fantasy - a Book Review

The Rats Of Hamelin: A Piper's Tale is a Christian fantasy novel written by the father/son duo of Adam McCune and Keith McCune. The familiar childhood tale of the Pied Piper is told anew in the first person narrative of Hannes, a handsome, eighteen-year-old apprentice in the powerful Piper's Guild. Set in the year 1284, Hannes, who has been trained in magical piping by the Piper's Guild, is sent to Hamelin to rid the city of its rats as his final exam before becoming a Master Piper. If this sounds slightly familiar, the rest of The Rats Of Hamelin: A Piper's Tale story is brand-new.

The Rats Of Hamelin: A Piper's Tale is full of intrigue, and nothing is as it seems as Hannes must struggle to discern who is friend and who is foe in the town of Hamelin. After removing the rats of Hamelin, Hannes hopes to buy his father’s freedom with the reward, money but someone powerful is trying to keep the rats in Hamelin, and the Town Council has stolen every penny of the fund promised to Hannes. Almost everyone, including the people who hired him, appear to be against Hannes from the moment he arrives in Hamelin, and even the mayor’s daughter,  who has caught Hannes' eye, seems to thenk he is not capable of finishing his task.

Ultimately, The Rats Of Hamelin: A Piper's Tale deals with balancing judgment with mercy. Full of unexpected twists and turns, I found The Rats Of Hamelin: A Piper's Tale a captivating story and well worth a read.  The Rats Of Hamelin: A Piper's Tale is creative Christian fantasy where the morals don't hit you in the face, and the scriptural references are subtle and woven into the fantasy element.

The Rats Of Hamelin: A Piper's Tale by Adam McCune and Keith McCune was published by Moody Publishers August 1, 2005

Accompaniment Recordings Paired with Piano Music Books Available at Music Minus One http://bookstoreheaven.com/accompaniment-recordings-paired-with-piano-music-books-available-at-music-minus-one/ http://bookstoreheaven.com/accompaniment-recordings-paired-with-piano-music-books-available-at-music-minus-one/#comments Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:11:53 +0000 BookStoreHeaven http://bookstoreheaven.com/accompaniment-recordings-paired-with-piano-music-books-available-at-music-minus-one/ Accompaniment Recordings Paired with Piano Music Books Available at Music Minus One

Music Minus One [MMO] is a leader in the Accompaniment CD and sheet music industry and has been for many years. Their online store is the most complete library of Accompaniment Recordings for Piano Music Books on the internet and the amount of play-alongs and Accompaniment CDs adjoined to the sheet music catalogue is simply astonishing. For any musician, MMO is like an online goldmine; transcribed music for all instruments and all music genres, quality Accompaniment CDs to be used for practice, performance and recording purposes as well as accessories such as instructional material and equipment.

Playing with multiple instruments has always been an integral part of music. The biggest jazz names have been said to learn all they know by playing along to their favorite artists – classical players perfect their tuning and pitch by playing with recorded orchestras and symphonies. For that very purpose, Music Minus One has developed an extraordinary inventory of Accompaniment CDs for beginners and virtuoso. The Accompaniment CDs are perfect for practicing – they will help any musician further their sense of rhythm and overall group performance while providing an enjoyable alternative to rigid metronome practice sessions. The recordings can also be used for performances: student recitals, restaurant music, artist showcases and any other occasion that does not allow for a big setup or group of musicians. The Accompaniment CDs available at MMO's website are also a great recording tool. When combined with a recording device like the Superscope recorder, also available at Music Minus One, the Accompaniment CDs can allow musicians to record quality tracks for demos or commercial CDs, which is perfect for musicians who might not have the financial resources to hire a band and book studio time.

Also available at Music Minus One's online store is a great variety of Piano Music Books for a wide range of musical styles. These Piano Music Books are not only great for pianists but can also be useful for vocalists and other instrumentalists in a more pop and Broadway-oriented context. For example, a saxophone player could purchase Piano Music Books to play songs with a pianist – since most books have an accompaniment part as well as a vocal line, the saxophonist can act as a vocalist in that context and play the melody while being supported by the piano part. Of course Music Minus One does also offer Piano Music Books targeted especially for pianists, with impressive classical works or great arrangements of pop songs.

Music Minus One truly is a great resource for any musician. Their complete online catalogue offers quality Accompaniment CDs, classical sheet music for mostly all instruments, Piano Music Books and even music for less traditional instruments; bluegrass books for mandolin and banjo, for example.

For more information on Music Minus One or to take a look at the incredible variety of their online store, please visit Musicminusone.

Music Minus One provides musicians around the world with top quality accompaniment recordings and sheet music for practice and personal home orchestras. To find out more, visit www.musicminusone.com.

On the rugged, wild, eastern shore of Barbados, Cindy and Clint are enjoying their dream honeymoon, when paradise quickly turns into hell. Cindy finds her newly beloved taken away from her, drowned in a freak accident in the ocean. The local police are quick to declare it an accident, to insist that he was caught in a sudden riptide. But Cindy, left all alone, is not convinced. Cindy must return to her and Clint's now-empty home in New York and face her in-laws, who never wanted Clint to marry her, and who did everything to make her engagement and wedding hell. She must deal with all of these women's backbiting, gossiping and unspoken accusations, while she tries to get a handle on her own grief and to get clear on what really happened to Clint. Cindy is mailed an anonymous photo of a woman she had never met, addressed to Clint. As she tries to unravel the mysterious package, as she begins to dig deeper into Clint's emails and files, she realizes how many secrets Clint had been h

How to Sell Books Online (Canadian Edition) http://bookstoreheaven.com/how-to-sell-books-online-canadian-edition/ http://bookstoreheaven.com/how-to-sell-books-online-canadian-edition/#comments Sun, 23 Oct 2011 02:15:06 +0000 BookStoreHeaven http://bookstoreheaven.com/how-to-sell-books-online-canadian-edition/ How to Sell Books Online (Canadian Edition)

A scenario: you have a shelf full (or some boxes full, or a stack of) books that maybe you've read once or twice, but you're certainly not going to read again. Some university textbooks, maybe, that aren't current anymore and won't be bought back by the bookstore. And you want to find some way to get a few dollars for getting rid of them. But -- and here's the rub -- you're living in Canada.

This can be more of a problem than you might think. A quick search of Google will find scores of small companies willing to buy your books off you at something like wholesale rates. There's actually a pretty standard approach to this, which you can quickly see by testing out sites like CKY Books (open only to American sellers, unfortunately): you enter the ISBNs for your books into their database (those 10- or 13-digit numbers found on the copyright page and usually just above the barcode on the back of the book), it spits out a price, and then they give you a prepaid shipping receipt to stick on the box and send it on its way. A few weeks later, you get either a cheque in the mail or a deposit in your PayPal account. Brittany Tucker has a pretty thorough overview of the general process.

The problem, as I've now stated twice, is that these sites work with Americans only. Which is great for my American readers - but a bit more trouble for we hapless, alienated Canucks. What this article aims to do is provide some options for Canadians who are looking to sell their books online but can't find a place to do that.

Wholesale Selling - Liquidate Your Collection

This is what most of the American sites (that you can't access) will let you do. This is the easiest but probably least profitable option for getting rid of old books. There's no mess: you enter the ISBN numbers, you see what books the company is willing to buy from you, and you send them off in a single transaction. Done deal. Usually the book company also agrees to pay for the shipping costs by giving you a prepaid shipping slip, so you don't have to worry about that either.

The downside is that most of the "sell your books online" sites will only buy the books they're certain they can sell, which means you'll be liquidating your best books at very low rates, and then you'll be stuck with a pile of books that nobody wants, including you. And I do mean "low rates": they'll offer you wholesale rates for used books, and they'll take into account the credit they're already extending you for shipping. It's a rare book that will get you in this process, and most will be far less. The ones they'll buy from you at all, that is.

Now, some of the American sites do seem to accept books from Canadians, but the process is shady enough to make me nervous. I can't find any accounts of Canadians who've done business with them, but that's not to say nobody has -- I just can't vouch for them personally. Bookbyte.com, for example, lets both Canadians and Americans register to buy and sell books, but doesn't mention whether it will credit Canadians for shipping or not (my guess is not, since the receipts for Americans are for USPS, the U.S. Postal Service)

MoneyForBooks.com
 seems like a reliable website, but it makes a vague promise that they will credit you what your postage would have been if you shipped from within the continental United States. I don't know how they make those estimates, but you're guaranteed to lose at least some money in the process.

Which for the moment leaves, so far as I can tell, Abe Books. Abe is better known as a site where you can buy and sell used books directly, but I didn't put it into my next section because Abe is geared more toward commercial sellers, those able to pay monthly fees for the privilege of keeping their accounts open. If you're into that particular angle, I might have another article later for would-be secondhand booksellers. But for the moment, what you need to know is that Abe Books will also buy shipments of used books from you at wholesale rates, similar to the websites I've been discussing above. And, like those, they will pay the shipping costs for you. They give you a UPS label to print out when you complete a transaction online. All you have to do is arrange for the pickup.

Abe Books was my entry into the world of selling books online and I cleared about 0 by emptying off a shelf of textbooks and non-fiction books that I hardly read the first time and certainly would never read again. Fair warning if you're planning on using this site, though: they're pretty heavily geared toward successful non-fiction books and recent textbooks. Old-edition textbooks and fiction, especially mass-market paperbacks, are almost guaranteed to be rejected. Still, it doesn't hurt to check - a few minutes entering book numbers into their database and you can see quite quickly whether anything you have is worth anything. Sometimes you'll be surprised: the most expensive offer they made me, for some reason, was for a years-old business textbook that I'd picked up off a shelf of free books and was tired of seeing clutter up my basement shelf.

There's an obvious problem with really only having one good-quality buyback option (more if you count companies like MoneyForGold.com): there aren't many options. If you run your numbers through the various sites, you'll quickly find that the rates offered for differing books can vary surprisingly. Some books only sell at some sites. Some will sell everywhere, but for prices ranging from fifty cents to eight dollars. And so on. One day, perhaps, we Canadians will enjoy the degree of choice the Americans currently do. We can always hope.

Direct Selling - Become an Online Merchant

This route will allow you to set the highest prices for your own goods, and deal directly with purchasers. Essentially, you'll be getting the benefits of not having to ship out your books at pathetic wholesale prices, as well as being able to put up your whole catalogue for sale. Plus, it's a chance to go into business for yourself (sort of), if you're into that.

eBay (http://www.ebay.ca) - In the United States, as I understand it, the no-nonsense best choice for selling books yourself is Half.com. This is a subsidiary of eBay which specializes specifically in selling books and other media. Unfortunately, to sell books on Half.com, you have to be an American. The next-best and most relevant choice for Canadians, then, is to sell directly on eBay itself - specifically, eBay.ca, although once your items are listed on eBay they can be purchased by Americans or international buyers, if you so choose. eBay also lets you set a flat shipping rate, or have eBay automatically calculate a shipping rate for you based on the buyer's shipping address. This is an important advantage over the Amazon Marketplace (see below). 

EBay currently charges an "insertion" fee of roughly a quarter every time you post an item to be auctioned, plus an 8.5% commission upon every sale. At the moment, you're allowed to sell five items per month without paying the insertion fee. There's a very slight additional fee if you want to add a "Buy It Now" button so that people can buy your books in one click rather than waiting a week for the auction to expire. Among booksellers, I've noticed that this is a very common and popular strategy on eBay.

Amazon Marketplace (http://www.amazon.ca) - Amazon.ca is the go-to choice for ordering new books online, but it also has a thriving trade in used books through its Marketplace section. Every time you search for a book in the Amazon catalogue, a link will come up to the Marketplace identifying how many used copies are for sale, and what the current lowest price is. You can sell your books, too, at any price you want. Amazon does gouge you on their commissions though: they won't charge you anything up front, but once you're item sells, they will deduct a .49 transaction fee, a .25 "closing fee" (much higher if you're shipping to the U.S. or you're selling DVDs rather than books), plus a 15% commission on the final price. Yikes.

There are a couple of things to beware of with respect to Amazon. A quick search with Google should find you scores of complaints from small sellers in the Marketplace about the high costs incurred meeting Amazon's "A to Z Guarantee" to buyers. Amazon is very protective of its image and has very high standards for transactions; if you have too many complaints, or consistently ship too slowly, or accept too many refunds under the guarantee program (or rather, Amazon is forced to accept too many on your behalf), your account will be closed and you will be booted.

The second is, yet again, that you are Canadian (are you sensing a trend here?). In the U.S., our comrades can merrily send books whizzing about the country at very cheap rates thanks to the Postal Service's "media mail" function. Canada Post doesn't have that. In fact, if you're sending a book across country and it's not thin enough to be able to pass as a very large letter, you're pretty much guaranteed to be spending or so for the privilege. Amazon Marketplace guarantees you a .50 credit for shipping on each sale, which means you're going to have to factor in to the sales price as much as an additional or so to cover your shipping costs.

These are pretty much your options, so far as I can see, if you want to go free up front. If you're willing to pay up-front fees on the assumption that you're going to be selling a very large number of books over a long period of time, you can do Abe Books for that, too. And you can use Alibris, which sells books through a number of different marketplaces, including Half.com and the secondhand books section of the Chapters Indigo website (which, unlike its Amazon equivalent, you can't access as an independent small seller).

Know of a really good option that I didn't cover here? Please put it in the comments below -- to educate me, and for the sake of other readers.

I take it for granted that no hearer of mine will misinterpret what I have to say as the language of cynicism. The law is the witness and external deposit of our moral life. Its history is the history of the moral development of the race. The practice of it, in spite of popular jests, tends to make good citizens and good men. When I emphasize the difference between law and morals I do so with reference to a single end, that of learning and understanding the law.
