Describe How You Shop for Books
Ah, shopping for books - truly one of the most blissful things in life to do.
I buy a lot of the newer books I've been waiting for online from Amazon (love their fast shipping, not to mention the free shipping if I go over 25 dollars, which I always add on to do...). For used books online I always use Abebooks (they're awesome)
For used bookstores in the area I love The Book Bazaar. They've been around before I was born and hopefully are around for years to come. Tons of books surrounding me whenever I go in there. They have a GREAT Gothic section of hard to find books and tons of romance and good horror and mysteries.
I also like the local libraries and the friends of the libraries sale, including browsing the once a year sale from Mulberry Library.
I also always check out books at Goodwill, Salvation Army, and any thrift store around.
Finally, for new books when in the area, I go to the local Books a Million and adore it there. <3 p="">
As for methods? I just browse the books, read the backs, and toss them in the cart :)
