The Sustainable School Shop search engine is keystroke sensitive, which means each character entered into the search bar will refine and reduce the search results.
Keep your first search as wide as possible by only using 1 or 2 keywords and then slowly refine your search. Keep your search distance as unlimited and only reduce in later searches.
Books For Sale don't have their titles standardised, this means when manually searching by book title a number of books will always be missed. Additionally, it can be very difficult to determine the correct book between the different editions. Often searching by title will display the wrong book or provide nil search results even when the correct books are listed For Sale.
All books For Sale are standardised by ISBN (International Standard Book Number). When manually searching, use the ISBN number as it's the best way to find all the correct books that are currently listed for sale.
Additionally, searching for free will show all books For Sale except those that have been listed For Sale within the last 48 hours. To see these books you'll need an Annual Subscription or Premium Search Subscription or to list Wanted Ads.
Premium Search and Annual Subscriptions provides access to:
To access the ISBN numbers: Register/log-in to the Sustainable School Shop website, upgrade to Premium Search or an Annual Subscription, then click View Booklists, and Show Info on each book you’re searching for.
Annual Subscribers should click Find Books, list Wanted Ads and use the Advanced Search Summary. This is the best way to find the books you need.

People can describe an item of uniform many different ways. The best way to search the uniform For Sale ads is to: Register/log-in, then click the blue ‘Stocktake’ button. The second-hand uniform Stocktake is a summary of all the current uniform items that are For Sale from your school on this website.
The Stocktake displays the school’s current uniform list, and it standardises into this format all the uniform items that are listed For Sale in relation to the school. It is an excellent way to see what is For Sale and what can or cannot be worn. There is no cost to do this.
