"We are delighted to be integrating Google Preview into the Blackwell online service. This provides customers with an opportunity to leaf through the covers of a book, in the way they might when browsing through our shelves in Oxford. They'll get a much greater sense of the book – the quality of writing, the breadth of material and the level it is pitched at. We are confident this will lead to happier customers — driving sales and reducing returns."
Blackwell Online Bookshop (affectionately known as "BOB") was first launched in 1995. Since then it has evolved into a leading website for specialist book sales.
In 2008, we introduced new ranges of products we sell in our shops, including Classical Music, World Cinema DVDs as well as some of our own branded goods such as stationery, bags and mugs.
Our desire is to capture that unique Bookshop experience in the virtual world of the internet. Not only do we offer the widest range of books available on limitless shelf-space, we also offer additional information to browse around subject matter to help you narrow your selection or to pique your interest in a particular author or genre.
