Barnes and Noble or a local bookshop called Gardner’s, where you can bring your books in and receive “points” to pick new ones. Or just going in and buying used books for a good price.

Amazon usually, then halfprice. Maybe Barnes and Noble or a bookshop called Twig if it’s unavailable or will be a long wait through Amazon. Also Whole Earth Provision has some great children’s books.

I’m very lucky I have one of the biggest secondhand bookshops near me and they ‘barter’ as well as sell books. I also look in charity (thrift) shops and shops that sell off books at a cheaper rate. Finally if I really want a particular book and can’t find it anywhere else, I’ll check out ebay or Amazon.

Real books come from B&N or an indie bookstore. Ebooks are almost always Amazon, though I’ll occasionally buy from Nook or iBooks.

A mix. I think supporting the industry is important – so Barnes and Noble and other new bookstores, for my favorites that I can’t wait to read and for new writers. Bookman in Santa Ana, California is my go-to used bookstore.

Most of my books came from thrift stores and library sales. Occasionally (and I mean like twice a year), I will hit up B&N, Walmart or Sam’s Club for new books. I just hate spending SO much on one book though….
