If you are looking for the best deal on the Stieg Larsson Trilogy (otherwise known as the Millennium Trilogy), be careful where you buy it from. The difference in price can be quite substantial. Furthermore, you should only be thinking about buying it online. The Stieg Larsson trilogy is sold as a hardcover set. Online prices are up to an astounding 66% cheaper than buying it at your neighbourhood book store. There are essentially three major, trustworthy, online book sellers that you could purchase this book from. They are Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Borders. I did some in-depth research into each of these companies and here is what I found.Shipping Costs - All three companies provide free shipping on orders over $25. As long as you purchase all three books as a complete set or if you decide to purchase the three books separately in one shopping cart, shipping will be free no matter which company you choose. In the event that you might purchase the three paperbacks, the c
ombined purchase for all three paperbacks also qualifies you for free shipping. In conclusion, the shipping costs are the same for all three companies, for the trilogy.Return Policy - Except for one of the companies, the return policies were buried in fine print and were difficult to find. The one company that had easy to find and easy to read return policies was also the same company that included your cost for shipping the books back in case they had made an error. An error such as shipping the wrong books would be included in that category. The other two stores made no such offer.Pricing - The pricing comparison turned up a couple of surprises. I checked out the combined purchase price for the three books. I did three calculations.1) Purchase the Stieg Larsson Trilogy as a hardcover set. All three companies had the same price.2) Purchase the hardcover Stieg Larsson trilogy as three separate books in one shopping cart. One company was 18% cheaper than the other two compani
es, which were as much as 22% higher. In fact, this same company had a 6% lower price for buying the three hardcover books separately than buying the trilogy set.3 )Purchase the paperback Stieg Larsson trilogy as three separate paperbacks. The same company was 25% and 38% cheaper than the other two companies. In fact, if you purchase the trilogy paperbacks, they are 34% cheaper than buying the trilogy hardcovers.Conclusion - There is only one company of the three that has the best return policy, the best hardcover price and the best paperback price.
