use, and i cannot stress this enough, thriftbooks
if thriftbooks doesnāt have what youāre looking for, especially if youāre looking for it used/cheap, alternatives include betterworldbooks and discoverbooks.
Other tips for cheaper books is checking amazon and scrolling down to the ābuy usedā or āother sellersā section and then checking to see if those sellers have storerfonts off of amazon.
There is also a good chance that you might have a local, indie book store that likely also has a used book section! Indiebound might help you find those book stores!
Also, check out your local library, sometimes, they have a for sale section or might have certain times of the year where they do massive used book (dvd, cd, etc) sales to fundraise!
(Itās also worth checking directly from an authorās or publisherās page and seeing if they have other places they sell their books. I know this is about cheaper/used books, since some of yāall arenāt built for piracy or the library, but also if you want to dodge supporting amazon AND want to more directly support artists you support, thereās a good chance they might have alternate ways to buy the books!)
I use thriftbooks a lot, it's so good!
as someone who works in an independent bookstore, alibris is the best for supporting yr local bookstore! abebooks is now owned by amazon. thriftbooks is great also just doesnāt usually support independent stores.
