Related: About this forumQuestion about buying books on Amazon.
I belong to Audible, but I love books I can hold in my hands as well. How can I tell if a book has pictures when reading the Amazon description?
I thought they used to have a place where it said illustrated or pictures?
Listening to Grandma Gatewoods Walk on Audible right now, but would love to buy the book if it has pics. Fantastic book btw!

(2,946 posts)You could try reading the reviews and see if anyone mentions illustrations. You could also check the question section and see if anyone has asked that or you could ask it yourself.

(120,815 posts)there is usually a "Look inside" notation with an arrow pointing to the picture. Click on that, and there will often be a table of contents including a list of illustrations if there are any.

(71,798 posts)that's my fave way to buy books. it's an easy place to get autographed copies too.
i'm in a michael palin fb page, and found out there that ordering his books direct, you can asked for an autograph and an inscription.
i ordered a book of limericks. the funny thing is, there's a limit to the characters you can enter. for some reason mine didnt go through. i got an email asking me if i wanted an inscription. from a tom palin, his bro?
anyway, it wasnt so much i wanted a particular inscription as i wanted to tell a story. in an exchange on the page, after a long and hilarious thread, i had been awarded the badge of the spanish inquisition. i replied to the email, no longer limited, w a longer version of the story.
took a while to get the book, as it shipped form england.
but the inscription reads-
no one expects the badge of the spanish inquisition.

(6 posts)Hi there, isn't there a Look into the Book section on Amazon? There you could check and tell if the book has illustrations or not...
