What's that?--sounds useful. I used to shop at Half Price Books which was a blessing, but we don't have one around here. If there's something like that online it'd be great.

We do have a bookstore around here that lets you trade paperbacks. Most of the stuff that comes in isn't stuff I need, but occasionally a gem turns up. Found some old Sax Rohmer mysteries I hadn't been able to find anywhere else.

Salvation Army, eh? Hmmm--I should try that :)

Half.com is a subsidiary of eBay...people sell their old stuff for very little. Shipping adds to that, of course, but I've gotten lots of good CDs and a few books for five dollars or less with the shipping. More practical for music than for books unless they're nicer books, but still useful!

They're a good source for "like new" hardbacks and textbooks, in other words.
