I have always loved going to used book sales. When I was a kid, one of the greatest treats was the library sale. We would go once every few months. We lived in a large town with a great library. The library was so big, in fact, that even the books that they got rid of were great. There would be literally tens of thousands of used books for sale for far less than they were worth. Everyone in my family was a book lover, so we would go there and fill up boxes and boxes of books. For 20 dollars each, we would have enough reading for six months.
Nowadays, I am more pragmatic in my purchases. You see, now that I'm going to college, I have to save my money more carefully. The only books that I usually get to buy are used text books for sale. Most of the classes keep the same reading from semester to semester, so usually you can find any book that you need, used. There are books for sale used on just about every topic. Bookstores in college towns, you see, are some of the best.
Of course, one of the best sources of used books for sale is the Internet. Although using the Internet does not match the excitement of a good used books sales where you get to peruse all of the selections yourself, it still has some advantages. There are so many used books online that it is hard to keep track of all of them. Almost anything you could want can be found online. When I first discovered buying books over the Internet, it was like a dream come true. I had to physically leave my house to stop spending money that I didn't have on used books for sale. That was how much of a temptation online book buying was for me.
To finance my voracious reading habits, I have begun to sell off my used books. Many of the best book stores depend on their readers for just that. Reading junkies will go and buy several used books for sale, and then return them several months later at a significant loss. This will allow us to partially fund our reading habits. Meanwhile, it will keep the store well stocked with used books for sale. I suppose everyone wins. As long as I get to keep reading, I don't care.
