Where do you Bibliosexuals buy your physical books now?I've been using bookfinder and secondsale. Usually can get books for about $5 a piece with some kind of buy 3 get 1 free deal.Anything better out there?
I use bookfinder as well. It always helps to also look for the same title on ebay. Lots of times ebay sellers are too lazy to put in the ISBN # in the listing, so it won't show up in the bookfinder results. You'll be surprised how many books are much cheaper on ebay.As far as stores at least here in NY we have a bunch of thrift stores. At Salvation Army, Goodwill and others the softcovers are usually $1, hardcovers are $2. There's one shop I go to where you can get a bag of books for $5. I always leave with a stack. This is where the majority of used sellers on Amazon get their stuff. Lots of competition for these titles so you have to get to these stores early. But definitely worth it. Pic attached is my last purchase all for $5.

>>24744781You buy from the library?
>>24744629Mercadolibre and Buscalibre, and also any of the hundreds of used bookstores close to me
>>24744984>Mercadolibre Latinx detected
>>24744629Typical prices at my local second-hand bookstores are around £2 a pop.A couple of times a year I'll visit one, and come home with a carrier bag stuffed with paperbacks. It feels like stealing.
>>24744779>thrift stores closest to affluent areas>estate salesI you're friendly with your LBS owner, ask them to keep an eye out for particular antiquarian interests.
>>24744629>Bibliosexual Anyways, I go to used book stores like picrel or Barnes & Noble
>>24744629Abebooks, eBay, and then Amazon as a last resort
I buy all my books at CVS
>>24745562Same but at racetrack
the last few books I bought came from ebay, and they're probably the best used books I've ever bought.
>>24744629>being so historically illiterate that you put a conquistadore's morion when the text in question is about an italian noblemanHow hard was it to google "italian nobleman hat 16th century" and pick one of the various styles depicted like the wide-brimmed black hat or the baret-style one?
>>24746818Supposedly that's helmet the Neaoplitan Nobleman actually wore.
