Words Worth Books
- Wordsworth was
one of the first bookstores to catalog its
inventory, and now it's not so different from
other online bookstores--it, too, has hundreds
of thousands of titles, and books are usually
shipped the same day, with discounts of 10 to
30%. But Wordsworth will do its best to help
you find the book you're looking for. Sam the
supersearching dog fetches your book when
you type in title or author. But for hard-to-find
books, you can call in a crack operative, who
will spend a little extra time placing a special
order or looking for an out-of-print
book.
