BookFinder.com was founded in 1997 by Anirvan Chatterjee, then a student at the UC Berkeley; it was one of the earliest vertical search engines for books online. Originally known as MX BookFinder, it was relaunched as BookFinder.com in 1998, and established as a standalone company based in Berkeley, California in 1999. In 2005, BookFinder.com was acquired by AbeBooks, which itself was purchased by Amazon.com on August 1, 2008.[1] BookFinder.com started operating in Europe under the JustBooks brand in 2006. There are currently JustBooks/BookFinder.com portals for the UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
