Top 10 online book stores- Priyanka’s Top ten

         How many of you call yourselves as ‘Bookworms’? Well I am not a bookworm but whenever I find a book of my interest, I definitely look forward to read it. Many of you might be gathering at your nearest book stall but at times you can’t find a book that you are looking for. In that case some of you get very impatient and ask our friends or relatives to look for the same at their native place. So instead of bothering your relatives, why don’t you look for the same book at other place? You must be definitely aware of online book stalls who deliver your book within a few days after you order them. When you can’t find your desired book at your native book stall, you can go for the online book shops where you will certainly find the book. There are numerous book shops over the web who sells books on various topics and at discounted prices. Even I purchased 2-3 copies from an online book shop and was very satisfied with their service.
