Is there any website that can get you used physical books for cheaper price? I have tried Abebooks in the past but now they have been charging a lot for shipping. I am trying FB marketplace these days but so far I found very limited options and you have to drive a lot to get these. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Start with local used bookstores. Many have discount bins or shelves. Other great sources include charity shops - there are chains, such as Value Village/Village des valeurs, Renaissance, Goodwill, Salvation Army shops, etc… You can also try Church bazaars and rummage sales. Local libraries often have a yearly book sale, and some even have a sale table for books they’re phasing out, or for which initial interest has died down, so they no longer need as many copies. Finally, if you’re lucky, your area might have a giving box or free library, where people leave objects they no longer want, but that are still in good shape, for people to take, we have found some great books there, and have also left some for others.
So true!
I have been to Value Village. Sometimes, I find good books in very good condition under $5 as well. I posted this mainly to search for specific books I would like and are not that popular.
Try talking to your local used bookstore people - they might be willing to let you mnow if they get a particular book in that you are looking for. Otherwise ebay has been fantastic but I’m not in canada. Lots of times I can get free or cheap shipping. I’ve found very obscure books there.
