Question: Where do you buy the majority of your books!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I borrow them from libraries!. All of the books I own are either books I loved so much I couldn't live without them or gifts!.

If I bought all of the books I read in a month I would probably end up spending hundreds!. Not worth it when I can just borrow them for free!.

Edit- Video about libraries, I love it so I'm sharing!. The library part starts at around 2:50!.

Mostly Amazon!.com because if it's a title that is unavailable, they always have a list of other sources who have it, or I will check The Strand cuz they always have half priced books!. But I've also gotten a few from E-bay or direct from Dover Publications!. It depends on what I'm looking for!. I haven't shopped at Barnes and Noble for quite some time but I always compare prices with them too if I have the time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If I'm ordering a book, I usually get it from abebooks!.com However, if I need to have it right away, I usually go to Barnes and Noble, because they're located not too far from me and generally have what I'm looking for!.

Textbooks are usually cheaper on abebooks!.com or valorebooks!.com than they are on Amazon!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Reading books: Mostly Barnes and Noble, or I ask for them for Christmas!. Sometimes I pick a few up at privately owned bookshops or little book sales people are having here on my campus!.

Textbooks: Amazon!.com!. So much cheaper than the bookstores at the university!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

http://www!.amazon!.com

40% off most titles I want, free shipping after $25!. I browse bookshops but buy mostly online!. I buy a lot of books and the savings really adds up!.

I also shop at http://www!.ABE!.com for older titles, out-of-print and remaindered books (like hardcovers no longer available through Ingram at Amazon)!. ABE is a network of book dealers!. A pleasure dealing directly with any of them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Classics: I don't buy, I read free at: http://www!.webliterature!.net

Everything else: Either online (Amazon or Barnes/Noble) or local bookstore!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
