This is what I've found by testing all of the booksellers listed in WP's list of book sources:

• AddAll, a price-comparison site, finds the best prices. They have the best results display: they list the results by the total price, but also give you the book cost / shipping cost break-down, tell you the shipping speed, and let you save books to a "memo list" of books you're interested in.
• ISBNdb usually comes up with the same or worse prices than AddAll. But it has three great features no one else has: "Price History" shows you how the average price, or the price at specific book sellers, has changed over time; "Books on the same shelf" lists books with nearby
  Dewey decimal classification
  entries; "Similar books" seems to list books related by keywords.
