BookOutlet. Not used books, but over stock. They are super cheap and, unless you buy from the Scratch and Dent section, come like new.

I believe there is only 1 of these anywhere close to me, but it is well over into another neighborhood. I have wanted to build one for awhile and now that I have my own house again, I will put one up.

They have a finding tool on their site. Some friends of mine went on a “Little Free Library Safari” Where they went around visiting all the LFL in their area.

I was surprised to learn that even people who use Amazon don’t seem to understand that you can buy used books there. Every listing gives you the option to buy a used book from a 3rd party seller (if there is one). Many of the used book cost just a penny plus $3.99 shipping.

Many libraries have a Friends of the Library used book store. I’ve found many really good books for cheap at libraries in my area. And you don’t even have to have a card for that library to purchase the books. The funds go to support the library.

Half Price Books, if there is one in your area.

Amazon

Paperbackswap

Your local library.

Barnes & Noble Marketplace

Abebooks and Amazon would be my go-to places. (Also every charity/thrift store in my town.)

Bull Moose in my area. They ship.

Abebooks

Join your local library there are thousands to choose from and they even sell them off sometimes

DeeLightQuestion author

Oh yeah, there are many to choose, just not the ones I want to read. I get tired of hearing “sorry, we don’t have that title or it is checked out “

Wordey

Charity shops

Amazon, sometimes.
