    My local library doesn’t have the greatest selection of books. I am using Truthquest History (which I love) but most of the recommended books are not at my library so I have to purchase them.  It is getting to be expensive.

    Where can I find books without buying them?

     

    Thanks,

    Rhonda

    Does your library do inter-library loan?  I get most of my books that way, although I also borrow from friends or look on Amazon/Better World Books for a cheap used copy.

    I find 95% of my books used through ABE books. They search a lot of used book stores so I can find the best deals. Usually only a few dollars except a select few that are harder to find.

    Our inter-library loan does not work that well, often I have to wait weeks for a book and then I get it for only a week. I see books as an investment, and am happy to loan to friends and hope to pass onto my kids at some point, just as my mom passed books onto me 🙂

    I use bookfinder.com. I also go to every book sale within reasonable distance, and keep a list of titles I’m looking for in my purse.

    And sometimes, I give up and substitute a book.
