| Thrift books or the library |

| DP here - for those of you who shop at Friends of the Library, do you have luck finding specific titles? Or do you generally wander around and choose what catches your eye? |

I have a list of books that I'm interested, so I just look for them at Friends of the Library and my luck finding them is about 0-50%, depending on a book. FOL in Rockville has a very good volunteer who seems to know their stock pretty well. I don't know his name but always happy to see him as he is very helpful. |

Goodwill has a lot of used books!
Also ebay. I also always shop the library book sales, but I don't usually look for specific titles. |

Bookfinder.com
It searches several used book stores at once and finds you the best price. It's awesome. |

I just wander around. The only time they will have an exact title is for a best seller or a classic. |

Me too, for books for me and for books for my kids (middle-grade and YA). |

Used to go there all the time when kids were younger and reading one book every couple of weeks. They don't do that anymore; they're teens. But, it's a great resource. We'd come away with two shopping bags full. |

I've been to the Rockville Friends of the Library and had good luck there when I go in with a list of authors I'm interested in.
Online I've used Wonder Books. They also have a storefront in Gaithersburg that is huge. The one time I was there I didn't really have time to look around but they had a ton of books. |
