As you might be aware from my previous post, I am all praise for NerdBooks
I ordered 3 more books from them and got them in 3 days on DHL ground shipping, with tracking numbers and all. I ordered the books on a monday morning and the books were shipped that morning itself. Arent these guys amazing !
BTW, the books I ordered are :
- Inside SQL Server 2005 : T-SQL Programming
- Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes
- MCTS Guide – .NET 2.0 Application Development Foundation
P.S. I dont own nerdbooks nor do I own any of their stocks

I just took my last trip to Nerd books. Upon entering their advertised storefront, the door did not close behind me. I took approx. 5 steps and then turned around and closed the door. Apparently, this was not quick enough for the owner who rather than put a spring on the door would rather berate customers. I got the same degrading speech that other customers have commented on…. We really needed to pick up a ton of books, but there was no way we were going to make a purchase after being treated this way. As we exited the owner tried to give us a smug “Have a nice day”… When we did not respond he followed us outside to tell us that “he did not appreciate it being disrespected in his store!!” This guy is a moron. I hope that anyone that purchases books from this company never has to deal with the staff. In their words, “We only make a dollar per book”…
I have never been in the store in person. I have made orders through the internet multiple times though. And I always had a pleasant experience. I buy book from them because they give the best deals. I suggest that u order online if you want to save a few bucks. Otherwise there is always Borders and Barnes and Noble. Borders send 30% off coupons to me very frequently (which I make good use of).
