The Media Bookshop
Our online shop, The Media Bookshop, isn’t the most elegant in the world (see ‘about the shop‘), so we’ve put together some tips for using the site:
Searching
The search is not very friendly as it appears to be ‘exact match’. Searching by author seems to be the most effective way to find the book you want. Or if you know it, search by the 13-digit ISBN number (exluding hyphens or spaces).
Media categories
The main aim of the online bookshop was to provide recommended reading lists for different categories of media books. But the structure of the site does not make it easy to put a simple list of categories on there. You’ll see the full list under ‘Media books’ across the top of the site, but only five of these categories (randomly selected) appear on the left. Use the full list under ‘Media books’, or click through to each from here:
Buying
Unfortunately the checkout is not reliable with any browser other than Internet Explorer (with other browers the ’3D secure’ pop-up just comes up blank). So we strongly recommend you use IE when browsing the site, so that if you choose to buy your passage through the checkout will be uninterrupted.
We’ll add more tips as we pick up on things – please get in touch by calling 0845 370 2323 or email info@themediabookshop.com if you get stuck.
