Techie Taffy
PAROMITA PAIN
Do you like to read? Do books make
you drool? If the written word is your
thing, then you must check out as
Techie did this summer the very many
websites scattered all over the Internet
that make life and reading so much fun.
Take a stroll with Techie through book
land and see what you can find. Type in the
word "books" into the Google search engine
and watch your screen go bonkers as thousand of results pop
up on your screen.
There sure are very many readers and book lovers there, isn't it?
However don't get lost in the crowd. Let Techie tell you what to
look out for.
While searching for a specific book or book related info like
author's names or famous lines, the general Google search is good
but the Google book search (http://www.books.google.co.in/) is
specifically designed for book-related matters so your search is
more effective.
What is also surprising is the number of online stores selling
books. And going online you will realise as you browse through the
sites is sometimes better than going along to stores because the
deals you get here sure rock. At the http://www.thehindushopping.
com/books/ the entire collection of Asterix begets the entire
collection of Tintin. Like attracts like, they say! Make sure in case
you are using a credit a card that the site is a secure one to type the
numbers in. The Calvin and Hobbes Collection comes for a discount
of 25 per cent.
If popular literature is your interest then check out the http://
books.rediff.com/ for the latest releases in the literary world.
There are discounts galore and has a video store too.
The teens and children's section is good. Best of all the sections
are neatly divided into adventure , sci-fiction and fiction which
makes searching easy.
