RE: Exceeded expectations... Have your say about Bibliophile
I'm an long-time customer and recommend Bibliophile at the drop of a hat. The site looks much more professional, and it's *wonderful *to be able to adjust the number of books displayed on a page.
Whilst I read the paper catalogue thoroughly, I've been regularly ordering books through this site. I must say though that I've just passed an hour--increasingly annoyed--sorting an order of only 8 books. The new search requires going to a page where one must delete keyword (what is a keyword? doesn't seem to be number, title, or author) and re-enter search term. Titles taken from the (great) 'New Arrivals' can't be got to from a search, and in fact one book from catalogue and one from 'Lucky Dip' weren't accessible through search. I found myself twitching between list of product numbers I'd made from catalogue, lucky dip, and new arrivals trying to find those books The layout of the new payment page so little catches the eye that I received two (different) error warnings before I even noticed that expiration date had been required, and my address, which had before been consistently correct, was incomplete and, though I live in Ireland, a second shipping address in UK was listed. After finally placing order, this all seemed of a piece with receiving 3 copies of the catalogue in the post a couple of days ago . . .
This isn't an indignant complaint--after all, now I've an excuse for a stiffer-than-usual nightcap--but a pointing out of something you mightn't know about. As I said, I'm a great fan, and because most of the fiction that I read is works in translation I'm especially pleased that you carry such titles. Cheers, and good luck.
