As their name implies, these stores sell used books. While that may mean that the covers may be worn and there may some other imperfections, it also means that the books will sell for less than their retail price. Many used book stores sell books for half price and less. Some used book stores will even buy your used books or allow you to trade in your books for their books, which would save you even more money.

Garage Sales

Garage sales are a great place to find bargains, and this means bargain books as well. At garage sales, you will find books with their prices slashed well below what they can bought for in stores. It is unlikely that you will even have to go up to half price to buy these books. Many garage sales sell books for a mere dollar or some other small amount.

Look at your local newspapers for announcements of garage sales. Also, keep an eye out when driving through neighborhoods and you will likely see a sign for an upcoming garage sale.

Online

Today, the Internet is a great place to find bargains. There are so many places online that you can find half price books, or books for even less than half price. Normal bookstores maintain websites and may have special discounts available on those sites.

You can also find books on Ebay, where you can bid for the books and the highest bidder will win the books at a price that will likely be quite lower than retail price.

Also, you can find used book stores online. These websites will offer the same advantages as a brick and mortar used bookstores, but may have even lower prices and have a greater selection.

Reading Clubs

You can join a reading club. These are clubs where people who enjoy reading trade books. This can be a way to get to read a lot of books without having to pay much. In addition, these groups will help you learn what books you may be interested in reading and where you can find them for a good deal.

Libraries

Of course the library lets you check out books for free and use them, which will save you quite a bit of money. Often, the library will also have book sales where you can buy books at a discounted price. Ask your local library if they are having a sale coming up soon.
