I typically do not order books online because of the shipping cost. I do buy on Book Outlet from time to time especially when I can get 6 books for 12 bucks including shipping. I tend to go to my local independent books stores and buy used books. I love going to book stores and browsing through the selves. I have a confession, if I am drawn to the cover, I tend to buy it, unless when I read the synopsis I know right away that I will not like it. There have been many books that I own that have been cover buys for me.
If the book I buy for the cover and I don't like it, I will take the book and trade it in for store credit. Yes, I do love collecting books, and my goal is to one day have a huge library of my own, but if I know that I will not read it again, I will trade it in.
I don't remember the last time I have bought a book for a mainstream bookstore. To be honest, they are usually over priced. Plus I like to support my local bookstore. Too many bookstores have been shut down because people do not go their anymore.
Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
