    These are some resources for buying your books. A note about buying books on amazon (and digital media in general): you dont own your e books. if amazon gets rid of them, theyre gone. I am a full proponant of hard coppies- including paper backs, cds, etc. as for paying for audio books and music and such, as a general rule if you cant touch it, you dont own it. Stuff that exists only online is just that. books dont go dead, they work without wifi etc. if you want someone smarter and more articulate than me to explain this, check out

    chain book stores:

  • b&n
  • BAM

    • second hand books

  • world of books
  • cheap new and second hand books
    • most importantly,Find a local Indie Book store. Find it. support it.
  • bookshop supports indie bookstores
    • check your local thrift stores, good will- even libraries sell old books sometimes. its worth noting that a good book usually doesnt get thrown out, but it never hurts to check! Ive gotten a copy of frankentstein (one of my favorite books), and a few other really good ones for really cheap- a hard back frankentstein for three bucks? yes please!>
