Good luck convincing Chronicle Books that the power of the written word is waning. Chronicle Books not only exudes tremendous service and selection as an online book retailer but also manages to find the time to sell stationary, calendars, craft kits and journals. Customers are afforded the option to buy books based on a multitude of criteria; they can easily search by a particular author, title or genre. The categories include Art & Design, Food & Drink, Life & Style, Kids and Pop Culture. That lineup is an all-star one and customers certainly take notice. Naturally, like any reputable book store, they assist customers and point them toward the best sellers, new release or any on the horizon. Chronicle Books also devotes an entire section to “Gift Finder,” which thoroughly helps narrow down the browsing. If that isn’t enough options, Chronicle Books flexes its creative muscles and devotes an entire section of its web site to personalizing books for kids. Bedtime and subsequent story time takes a turn for the better as parents now can buy kids’ books with their son or daughter as the star of the story. Boys now can star in their own Pirate adventure story and little girls can be in the center of a princess fantasy courtesy of Chronicle Books and their propensity for not only selling books but putting their distinct, individual stamp on each one. In addition to books, Chronicle Book also affords customers the option to personalize a variety of other items, including notebooks, folders, place mats and lunch boxes. Chronicle Books scores big in selection but the prices somehow manage to trump all. Discounts and clearance items rule the online library of items at Chronicle Books; even regularly priced products garner plenty of attention and nods of approval. Seeing the appeal of books differently is something that sets Chronicle Books apart from traditional retailers in the industry. That is a message read loud and especially clear.
