If you want traditionally published for cheap, I shop bookoutlet a lot. They don’t carry the indies though. Best place to get those is from the authors themselves, amazon, or a signing.
Thank you @Megan
I use Book Outlet and Thriftbooks. I only by the $3.79 books on Thriftbooks. Otherwise, I do secondhand shops and library sales.
I just look in my Google maps for used book places or thrift shops. I went not too long ago& got some for 50 cents.
I buy from Amazon, Book Outlet, and Book Depository. Occasionally I will buy a book on sale at Barnes & Noble.
Also goodwill, Half Price Books, and resale shops.
Goodwill
See if your library has a bookstore! We have a friends of the library bookstore and all the proceeds go back to the library! ❤

Thriftbooks isnt bad if you get the 3.79 books. The newer ones are expensive though or some of the really old ones
Amazon has a used books section at great prices.

Thiftbooks is the cheapest, online, that I have ever found, I love them.
@Christina same here! I don’t think they’re expensive at all.
Our Goodwill has specific locations that are all books.
eBay..
There is a site that you can buy books by the case, they are mixed. Someone has the site on here, if not I will post when I get home

@Robin they only seem to have children’s books?
@Jess I didn’t realize that! Bummer! I have bought books on eBay, but only specific titles that I have been looking for. I use bookoutlet too, but mostly for children’s books

Better World Books. I’ve bought many a used book on Amazon too.
Thank you everyone. I will write down all the sites you shared.
I’ve heard that some Dollar stores have great ones. I never could find any at mine though.
Your local public library has great buys!
I should know that. I’ve bought my share from mine in past years.
You aren’t going to find any cheaper online than Thriftbooks. Go to your library when they have sales. Most have bookshops set up. You’ll find them cheaper there than Goodwill. Usually they’re around $1-$2 for hardbacks and $1 or less for paperbacks.
How about local used books stores in your community? We have a great one here
Its limited but dollar stores get books. I have found some great ones
The books I’m looking for I haven’t found anywhere except one book and I can’t pay $39.00 for it
@Shelly what book is it?
What books? I can keep an eye out when I’m out. If I see them cheap enough, I can pick them up for you.
I’m looking for

Ice Man

There’s one copy on Thriftbooks. That looks like the cheapest you’re going to get. It appears to be rare.
Is this the other one you’re wanting?
No! @Susan
@Susan yes, this is the one.
@Susan this is the one, but I need 2
@Shelly well, I can’t help you there. Get this one and get them to notify you when another one come in.
I would do what Susan suggests! I’ve bought books that way, waited for Thriftbooks to email me.
@Kayleigh ok thank you both.

Depending on the book you can get them for a penny on amazon but shipping is 3.99..so its $4, which isnt bad
