MessageSometimes, in Seattle, the Friends of the Library collects used books
and has a once-a-year sale to raise money for the library. You can find
some amazing deals and amazing books at sales like that, or try thrift
stores. Also half-priced Books is another source.
For audiobooks, on cassette, CD, and MP3 CD's: Ashgroveaudiobook.com is
great. You can trade in audiobooks in those media, get points for them
based on the original retail price of the audiobook, and then pay a service
fee for your next selection(s) which is $15.99 or less. I have gotten books
valued originally at over $100 for $15.99 because I had the points built up
from trading in previous audiobooks. They have some books each week on
their "weekly specials" list that sell for half their usual price, sowith
the points, I am buying them at $3 or $4. It's fun, and I get some of the
Teaching Company audio courses that way too. Check it out!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Good Sources for Used Books
Monica,
I have used half.com for dvds and cds before...when I need to, I'll
consider them for books.
I would also appreciate it if the group would share some of their used
book sources with me.
We have several books at home that I want to scan before I go into
adjusting our budget to all for buying books; plus I think we should have a
pretty good county library.
Thanks to all for their help and responses.
Nancy
