Welcome to the group, Candiss. I know exactly where you are coming from. Anytime I visit a library, I can't leave without looking over the used books they might have for sale. You say you like used books AND online shopping? Then you might want to check out a new site I learned of not too long ago: www.thriftbooks.com sells used books online. A nice combo, huh? I've only placed one order with them so far, but the book came in about a week and a half, not bad service IMO.



I only really started patronizing used bookstores about a year ago. I don't know how I survived without them!

I rarely (if ever) buy new books, other than as gifts for others. But I can't resist used books. Just look at them there, all forlorn! I feel compelled to take them home and give them a nice, cozy shelf to live on. And online buying - Let's call it "adoption", shall we? - is even more urgent. Poor homeless dears, floating adrift on the big, lonely internet...

Well, it's just comforting to find a group of other passionate bibliophiles who can relate. I'm looking forward to chatting with you all.
