I’ve seen many people with paperback copies of some of the newer books, but only the hardbacks are sold right now. For example, the book Delirium by Lauren Oliver was published back in December but some people already have it in paperback. I know some people get the ARC, but I don’t think that’s it.

Sometimes, when a hardback is released a paperback large format airport edition gets released too, often earlier than the standard trade paperback that you get in high street shops. Also, there are preview copies that get sent to bookstores in order to promote the book.

I was planning on ordering some books online at Barnes&Noble. My order was for three books, two of the books are pre-ordered. I was wondering if i could have the books delivered to the store instead of shipped to my house. Would all the books arrive at the same time or each one depending on the time they are released or in stock? Would i still have to pay shipping cost? And how do I know if the separate packaging fee is for the total order or each individual book?

Yes to all ……………..

I was just wondering seems as i have a shed load of books that i’ve bought/ been bought, can i somehow get these books for ‘free’ to read on an iPad? I don’t really want to be buying like 50 books again I really hope this is a feature that is incorporated somewhere
If you don’t know about for iPad is there a way of just doing this onto a computer or something?

Thankyou very muchh

Not one that people seem pleased with.

In essence, when you buy a physical book, you do not also buy the right to own it in another form without buying it again in that form. While there are OCRs and other devices which can ‘translate’ text into digital, they’re flawed and more work than most people are willing to do to save the price of an ebook.

You could just read what you own in the form you own it in, and buy new reading material in digital.

For a unit in my english class we have to choose two books: a non-fiction book and a fiction both on the same subject. I chose the holocaust as my topic (obviously). I have already chosen my fiction book – The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. So I just need a non-fiction to go with it. Do you have any good recommendations? And even good fiction books too? Thanks

Boy in the Stripped Pajamas is one of my favorite books ever <3 I cried for like the entire time I was reading it
Non-fiction: Night
Ficton: The Book Theif
Two amazing books. Be ready to cry during both. Enjoy.

I want to get some non-fiction books about things like planets and stars. What are some good ones that I could get at Barnes and Noble?

For all purposes, just walk through the science area. Astronomy for Dummies isn’t exactly *great*, but …. for a beginner, it isn’t exactly bad. Almost any of the books that have maps (several pages) of the sky (look for almost any books that have the name ‘Wil Tirion’ on the cover – - you’ll be okay with those.) Make sure they have sections on telescopes and binoculars (how to tell different types, how to use, how to care for them, and sections on planets and stars. Over the past few years I’ve maybe bought 3 or 4 dozen book – and I use (perhaps) a dozen or so regularly.

This quarter for school I have to read a historical fiction book as well as other books. What are some great books for me if I like to read usually romance/mystery/horror books?

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Any books on how to start a brokerage and agency business?
Any popular books out there on how to start a brokerage business, or how to start an agency business? I am not talking about mortgage brokerage, or securities brokerage, rather general brokerage and or agency How-tos.
Also,
is there any other books specialising on How to start brokerage business of goods and services?

Will this help?

I am a Business Administration student at the University of Oregon and want to start reading more than just my course books. I have read some classics like "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and more recent business books like "The Little Red Book of Selling" and "Good to Great." What are some other books that every business student should read before going into the real world. Thanks.

So basically my daughter is a reading machine, in fact she is running out of books to read. She really likes fantasy and realistic fiction. Keep in mind she is not mature enough for certain situations but she has read the hunger games (that’s the most violent book she has read) but anything slightly more violent is probably okay. As many books or authors or series’s as possible please!

That’s basically how I was except a little bit younger. I was reading Stephen King in first grade. I think it’s just because I grew up without TV. I don’t know. I would completely disregard Twilight. Twilight is not high school level reading. She would probably even notice that. How about A Series of Unfortunate Events? I loved those when I was little. If her reading level is high school level she’ll actually understand the dark humor too.

I’ve always wondered is hard book covers better then paperback? Does it make people want to buy it? I heard a thing called stripping wear people rip off the cover of books but why?

Is hard cover expensive to pay for before selling them. How much more money?

I prefer paperbacks because they are cheaper, and I manage to break both types accidentally sadly

Hardcover books are probably more expensive to produce, so I image hardcover copies may only come around if the book is good/popular.

‘Sammie’ your ’sources’ just made my day. Please learn to write!
