WHY GENTLY USED BOOKS ARE GREAT

• You can find cool vintage books to collect

• Good for the environment (recycling books!)

• Cheaper than new books & just as readable

1:

THRIFT STORES

Places like Goodwill and Value Village will often have a giant wall or multiple aisles of used & vintage books (depending on the location). Check for special sticker deals or 2-for-1 deals!

LIBRARY SALES

Check with the libraries in your area to see if they have a yearly or bi-yearly library sale! Library patrons donate vintage & used books to sell, usually for very cheap.

3:

Little Free Libraries

Check your neighborhood for LFLs! They're like mini community kiosks where you can take a book in exchange for leaving one behind.

4:

FACEBOOK BOOK SWAPS

Search Facebook for book swap groups where you can exchange books with others for just the cost of shipping!

5:

HALF PRICE BOOKS

Half Price Books has an awesome clearance section where you can find super cheap books!
