BookFinder.com is a vertical search website that helps readers buy books online. The site's meta-search engine scans the inventories of over 100,000 booksellers located around the world. Among the books from sellers whose inventories are indexed, users can find the lowest price for a book of their choice from over 150 million volumes available for sale, and purchase titles directly from the bookseller, without a markup.[1][2] The search engine is focused primarily on Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish language titles.
BookFinder.com was founded in 1997 by Anirvan Chatterjee, then a student at the University of California, Berkeley; it was one of the earliest vertical search engines for books online.[3] Originally known as MX BookFinder,[3] it was relaunched as BookFinder.com in 1998 and established as a standalone company based in Berkeley, California in 1999.
In 2005, BookFinder.com was acquired by AbeBooks,[4] which itself was purchased by Amazon.com on August 1, 2008.[5][6]
BookFinder.com started operating in Europe under the JustBooks brand in 2006. There are currently JustBooks/BookFinder.com portals for France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK.[2]
