Re: Where do you get your books ?
Speaking of that, I like to buy used books off of Amazon but only if I have a bit of a book collection already going to keep me occupied before the books arrive. It's too much to do expedited shipping and standard shipping can take a while.
Every now and then there is a library sale. If I had a garage sale mate I might go poke around at those! But they can be kind of creepy if you're by yourself.

Me Too!!! I have to look into Abebooks though, never heard of that one. Like you say, I gather reading material everywhere I possibly can.TD Matzenik wrote:Just about anywhere. Online, junk shops, park benches, book shops, from friends, Abebooks is a very good source for titles that are hard to find.
I love Barnes and Noble.com, if you have their card you get free shipping and a discount. They also have a search feature so even if they don't stock a particular title they will hook you up with independent sellers who have it. There was an obscure fire fighting text I was interested in after reading another book referring to it. B and N had a bookseller who had the book! For like $4.99 They also have a wish list feature I use a lot.

I get books in places like that too. Thrift stores, library sales, yard sales, city dump when I worked there and so on.
