I only bought from doubleday because I bought a coupon from cudo.com.au that gave me $50 worth of purchase for $19. I wanted to buy a particular book then and when I checked the price on doubleday, it’s so much more expensive compared to other online shop but because of the coupon, I can buy another book so I decided it was worth it. Without the coupon, I definitely wouldn’t buy it because the book I was after was priced $28.95 there while in bigw.com.au the same book only costed $18.74. That’s $10 difference!

The range of books they’re offering is also quite limited to newly released title. Although this also means, they’re very fast in shipping because they only sell what they stock. Although if you buy in-stock items from other shops, it will also be as fast.

So in my opinion, double check with other online bookstores such as Big W, Borders, or Booktopia before buying. Although doubleday seems to be cheaper than your local bookstore because they sell below RRP, most of other online stores sell even cheaper with the same quality of service.

I love Sophie Kinsella’s books. I’ve read and owned every single one of them. They’re light, funny, silly at times, but never fail to make me laugh and put me in a good mood.

I recently bought the latest release of the Shopaholic series, Mini Shopaholic, from borders.com.au which is the cheapest around. It’s $22.95 paperback version with free shipping. The best thing about buying a new release book is the fast shipping. I ordered on Thursday and got it on Tuesday (would have gotten it on Monday if it wasn’t a public holiday).

I’ve read a couple of chapters, so far I’m loving it just like any other books in the series.
