Cheap Books!



Everyone that knows me, knows that I love books. Simply adore them. So I'm going to tell you where I get them for a great bargain. There are lots of book websites that sell cheap quality books. A lot of them aren't trustworthy. Not to worry though, I have 3 sites that I love to buy my books from. They're reliable, cheap and have fast shipping. I also have 2 other places to get cheap magazines and textbooks.

First up I have Bookcloseouts.com. They have lots of books at a fraction of the cover price. They also have a scratch and dent section, for books that are $1 instead of say $24. And they have sales all throughout the year. My favorite Section is Health and Beauty. Shipping is cheap and very fast.

Next is awesomebooksusa on ebay. They have a wider selection than bookcloseouts. And their prices are great. You can find lots of books for real cheap.Their books are all pre-owned, so be prepared for dents or scratches.

Or in my case, pictures. One time, I had ordered Victoria Beckham's That Extra Half An Inch.Great book, btw. When I had opened it, 2 pictures of British people fell out.I had recieved a free bookmark. However, shipping is reasonable, depending on where you live and it's fast.

Last is Borders.com. You can buy all the latest books with a click of a mouse. I love borders sooo much. When you buy as many books as I do, it pays to sign up for borders rewards. You get coupons, alerts for future sales and points for money you spend on merchandise. Plus you get free shipping when you send your order to a local store. Free shipping! You can't beat that. They always have great after Christmas Sales and when Waldenbooks was closing, I racked up a ton of points for all the books I bought. I also got calendars for $1 in january.

SECRET TIP: Moleskines are really cheap at the beginning of the year like half the price. And sometimes stationary is on sale. So pick up a few cahiers and sketchbook at 30% off.

Two places to buy cheap magazines and textbooks.

Your local library bookstore: People are always donating magazines and textbooks when they're done with them. You could get a tax writeoff for a big donation!

Thrift Stores: Buy magazines when it's a tag sale or weekend promotion. You can old issues and sell them on ebay. Students also donate textbooks as well.

I hope these tips helped you. Now get out there and rack up some knowledge points.
