Introduction

Be aware of additional costs when buying books online. These include: shipping, exchange, foreign taxes, domestic GST/VAT, additional shipping charges you pay on delivery, duty, customs broker fees, and the latest to nail me, a $5.00 CAD collection fee to pay for collecting cash for a $2.50 CAD GST (Goods and Services Tax) fee. You will almost always be quite unpleasantly surprised when you add it all up. Books online are usually slightly more expensive than buying them locally. Further, delivery is 4 to 12 weeks unless you pay extra.

The main advantages of online books are the wide selection, 24 hour service without leaving your home and the low warehouse and staff overhead for the vendor. The main disadvantages are you cannot browse the books, and you have to wait for them to be delivered.

Clicking either logos or URL (Uniform Resource Locator)s below will take you as close as possible to that bookstore’s section on Java books. I am signed up to receive referral fees from Amazon (in Canada, USA, UK and Germany), Chapters.indigo.ca and Barnes and Noble. Only Amazon.com has actually sent a cheque.
