Three more ways... BookCrossing.com, BookObsessed.com and BookMooch.
Happy TT.
You covered all the spots that I can think of to get books. I am more likely to get a book from Amazon than any other place. The least likely would be a yard/garage sale and I am definitely not going dumpster diving (lol).
We buy a lot of books from Half.com or Abebooks.com. There also is a lot of books exchanged via FreeCycle.
Great list though - got to love the books.
You've covered just about all the sources for books, I'd say.
Great list! My SIL sent me a huge box of books that she got off of EBAY for christmas. I finally read the last one this week!
Around here book fairs are big. Lots of older folks with attics full of good ones.
I get mine from second hand book stores. When you bring in your old ones, you get credit towards more books. Its great. Nice list. Happy TT:)
I used to always order from Amazon.com. Now, I borrow.
I love readding... I get most of my books from the chain bookstore (Chapters) in the bargain section.
Half Price Books is the used book store I frequent most often, Borders seems to be the new store I go to most often, I love Library book sales, and I'll even pick up books from the Salvation army stores and goodwill stores around town. I'm also a member of Bookcrossing, Bookmooch, BookObssessed and Paperbackswap.
I'm Shaunesay, and I have a book problem! LOL!
I get mine from all the same places, except the trash ben was behind the library.
I've brought a lot of older books & a few new ones at library book sales & the salvation thrift store. The Book Nook of Lake Norman in Huntersville is a good place to buy new & used books. And , I buy most of my new books on line at half.com.
