In Montgomery County, some area high schools have used book sales. Water Johnson in early March and BCC shortly thereafter.

Love McKays - especially if you’re looking for classics for a course or school and also if you’re looking to fill in missing books from a series.

There are three thrift shops in my town. I go to at least one each month. All three have a large section of books ranging in price from 25 cents to $4.

Once I am done reading books I bought at the thrift shop, I write a little note to myself on the very last page (e.g. Larla read this July 2023) and then I return it to the thrift shop.

Value Village in MD has a decent book section. I hate thrifting but go with my daughter. I always find a few good ones there.

Most public libraries have book sales on a regular basis. They usually have a great selection and unbeatable prices.

I have just started reading again and I am looking for some sites to buy used books from. I have bought some from Amazon sellers, but sometimes the prices seam a bit much like $10 for a book that is $16 new. Are there any other sites that sell used books that you can recommend?
