Question: Help me find a book finder...

Book search with price comparison.

I already know BookFinder.com. A similar website including permanent link to a specific book would be wonderful.

It should be as "neutral" as possible (that's why bookfinder was almost the perfect match for my needs).

http://isbn.nu is nice cause you can search (and have permanent results) by ISBN number using this format: http://isbn.nu/XXXXXXXXXXXXX where the Xs are the ISBN number of the book. Does that help?

Here's an example for "where the sidewalk ends":
http://isbn.nu/9780060511494

BookBurro is a Firefox extension that searches used books in a selected number of online locations and libraries.

I like to use this site:

for comparing not only books but electronics, etc.

My personal favorite is addall.com, the link it gives has the isbn and so I think you could return directly to it.

Above link is bad. The correct links are:

For price comparisons:(like so)
http://www.bestbookdeal.com/book/compare/***Your ISBN Here***/

For book details:(like so)
http://www.bestbookdeal.com/book/detail/***Your ISBN Here***/

If you want to link to a BookFinder.com search, click the link labeled "How to link to this search" at the bottom of BookFinder.com search results. You'll end up with a stable permalink, which will will retrieve all matching books, regardless of ISBN or edition, e.g. <http://www.bookfinder.com/search/?author=Anne%20Fadiman&title=Ex%20Libris&lang=en&st=xl&ac=qr>

If you want a permalink to a specific copy of a book, just click on the book's link, and copy the resulting URL, e.g. <http://www.biblio.com/books/94757478.html>

(You may also want to check out JustBooks.fr, BookFinder.com's French site.)
