VoTeckam Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 abesbooks.com is also great for cheap reads. In my undergrad days I used to get books for as low as a dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 They won't send above the border because of anti-dumping laws. Supposed to protect Canadian businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosieranna Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) Red, thanks for the site. It's now a favorite, slightly below Amazon, at least alphabetically. As someone who has spent more than her fair share at Borders, cheap books are always wonderful. Edited June 19, 2009 by Nadezhda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, lately I prefer supporting a couple of favorite local bookstores over buying online anyway. After all, reading should be a social experience rather than a simple financial transaction.
