camelcamelcamel for books: a book price tracker that covers more than Amazon

camelcamelcamel is a well-known Amazon price tracker, and many readers use it for books. It tracks any Amazon product, so it is not built around reading. If you buy books from more than one store, or want to borrow first, a book-only tracker can cover the gaps.

What camelcamelcamel does well

camelcamelcamel is very good at Amazon price history. Its charts show how a product's Amazon price has moved over time, and its alerts tell you when the price falls below a number you choose. For anything you plan to buy on Amazon, books included, that history helps you judge whether a price is really a deal.

When to use which

Use camelcamelcamel when:

• You've decided to buy on Amazon and want to time the purchase.
• You track non-book products too, all in one place.

Use Track Book Price when:

• You want prices from many book stores, new and used, side by side.
• You want ebook and audiobook prices next to print.
• You want a library check before you buy, and alerts for a reading list.

They work well together. Use camelcamelcamel for Amazon price history, and Track Book Price to compare the rest of the market and check the library. We don't show Amazon prices, but every book page has a link to check Amazon yourself.

How Track Book Price works

1. Find a book. Search any title or browse books by category. Each book page shows the best current price for print new, print used, ebook and audiobook, with the store and when we checked it.
2. Check the library first. Every book page links to a title search at your library on Libby (a free library app), so you can borrow before you buy.
3. Set a price line. Pick the price you'd pay and we'll email you when it drops below it. Have a list already? Import it and set one line for every book. See today's deals for books already below their usual price.

We never show Amazon prices. Amazon appears only as a "Check price on Amazon" link. We earn affiliate commissions when you buy through store links, which keeps the site free.
