Everyone should also be aware of Abe Books, they're all discounted and cheap shipping.
We have a Friends of the Library here. My mom would get romance novels from it, lol.
they're amazing. you can also turn in your books for in-store credit, and they give pretty good deals. Not like gamestop. lol
oh wow! I didn't know that. I don't think we have that here, although the library does have a few permanent racks set up with all kinds of books and dvds they've pulled from circulation that are a quarter apiece. gotten some good ones from there, too.
I've looked into Abes but never bought from there because I wasn't sure if they were trustworthy. good to know they are. And yeahhh 99% of my books are used.
Dude almost every book I needed for college (I went to college for approximately forever and have a writing degree which = lots and lots and lots of reading) came from Abe books! I had an issue with a book not showing up a few months ago and the seller refunded me no questions. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
That sucks! ..... And your ex is an ass!what's Friends of the Library? and man, I wish I could read ebooks. I used to have a Kindle but for some reason i can't absorb anything I read in ebook format. I'll be super into it while reading, then I'll go do something else and have 0 idea what I had been reading. It's super inconvenient
honestly I don't remember, my ex gave it to my for my birthday but he took it when he left because he's an ass.
wooow I wish I had known about that when I was still in college. One semester I paid $800 for 2 digital copies with access codes that expired in a year and 1 used hardback. Couldn't make that shit up.
That sucks! ..... And your ex is an ass!
AbeBooks [ https://www.abebooks.com/ ] is GREAT!
I got lucky and a professor told me in like freshman year community college to keep the heck out of the bookstore and order from Abe, BUT, they were all literary and literary criticism sooo idk how well it'd translate to non English/Lit/Writing majors lolwooow I wish I had known about that when I was still in college. One semester I paid $800 for 2 digital copies with access codes that expired in a year and 1 used hardback. Couldn't make that shit up.

yeah i only bought from the bookstore when I couldn't find them on amazon. the $800 semester was one of those times.
Used then a lot. They are trustworthy. Can also order from them thru Amazon I think.
Amazon "acquired" them a while back. Very happy it hasn't caused any real negative change!
I just finished it a little while ago. It's 95% reading but some of the content isn't good. Like a bus full of punctuation collided with an 18 wheeler full of words on the freeway. Then caught on fire.

I can't say for sure since I screened out but I think the target audience for this hit is going to be a little slippery.
