Buying pre-owned books

i go to booksale a lot. i am deliriously happy when i find a book i want, which is rarely, but get sad too thinking how someone could part with it. and i like discovering books i like that i would never have known about otherwise. i like seeing people read and am pleasantly surprised to find out there is someone out there who likes the things you do.

That's a good idea because sometimes even older books are in such a good condition that you no longer need a new one. Actually you can save some money if you try to find a good place where you can find good second hand books. You can find those books also which are not published now anymore but are good ones to read. So go for smart shopping and why waste extra money when you can get the same book in the low price.

Very rarely will I go to a bookstore and pay for a brand new book. I love to hit the thrift stores and garage sales. You can find some pretty wonderful books just browsing. One of our local second hand stores allows you to get a recyclable bag full of books for just $5. I'm getting good at packing those bags. Lol.

Most of the books I have are second hand books. There are some books I want to read that can`t be bought new anymore. In the city where I live there are a couple of streets with quaint little stores with old books. I love to go there and browse books.

I love Book Sale as well, I always go there whenever I got the chance to, and even if I don't have money at that time I'll still go there to look for interesting titles then I'll just return to the store when I have the money. I even got one of my most favorite books for only P25. Aren't I lucky? Haha! But I do find trouble searching for a good book, because the arrangements of the books are not really good, most of the times the genre would all be mixed up so I don't know which section to go. And most of the staffs in Book Sale always have frowns upon their faces like they hate working there or something..they're not very approachable, so yeah. How I wish, there would be a public library in my place...I would surely be a devoted visitor if there would ever be one in here.

I love books and yes finding a good book in a book sale is a real treat. Good book with a good price, i call it yummy! Good luck finding a good one! =)

I also like to buy such books,yet I wanted books of Sciences and History.I do not like novels.I also buy second hand magazines,about Science and technology and some home do it yourself magazines.I also like cooking books,so that I can add some new recipes to my dining table.

Our libraby has a used book store down stairs from the main library. What a wonderful way to share. You bring your old books down and donate them...they resell to buy new books for the library. It's a win win situation!

I prefer to buy books new when I can afford to, but I still buy used books a good chunk of the time. It's a great way to get a good deal and a good read. Most used books I find are still in great condition. As long as I can read them without them falling apart, it's all good. But I prefer to buy books new because I like the idea of supporting my favorite authors and the publishing industry. So when I have money to spend, I'll buy books new.

I love to buy pre-owned books and back issue of my favorite magazine in Book sale because it's very cheap. I bought some of my nursing books in Book sale when I am still studying and i save a lots of money.

I also don't mind buying pre-owned books, or even trading them. I can finish a book in one siting! Anyway, as long as the book is still in decent condition, no unidentifiable liquid stains and no termite marks, then I am willing to buy it especially if its from my favorite author.

i always drop by book sale when i'm out to check out discounted magazines (which i then give to my sister in law after i've read them) and the chicken soup book series for my personal collection. i have 4 now. i'm also on the lookout for humorous travel books to give to my sister.

I also love to buy books on sale. And there are interesting too and can have a big save.

I love pre-owned books. They have the nice feel of a nicely read book. I like to think that books are tools of adventure and someone else held that tool and went on an adventure. I know, seems childish. I have a childish way of thinking though. I like to think the happy way that children think.

Friends of The Library, in the USA, have good book sales. Some libraries have a FREE BOOKS section, such as Bellingham WA USA. Good Luck. Have a good day.
