Trying not to buy books from the Bad Place, but the Bad Place is the only place that has this particular book in stock and also any secondary sellers who claim to have used stock are also, owned by the Bad Place.

Also eBay sellers ?

Also just extensions of the Bad Place or even worse - just Dropshipping from the Bad Place.

I hate it all.

My new goto for #books #bookbuying is #WOB -> World of books. UK based pretty big selection. Great prices.
Do you prefer to buy books new, used, or borrow from the library? Why? #BookBuying #LibraryLove
How do you decide when to buy a book versus borrowing it from the library? #BookBuying #LibraryLovers
Book Discussion: More on Book Buying

Yesterday afternoon, I took a trip to the nearest Barnes and Noble store (in Gilroy, California). I went in with no initial idea of anything...

📚📚📚I'm going to pin this survey until tomorrow. At the risk of being a big PITA, I'm going to grovel a little for more participation.🥴🙃

As a sincere fan of physical and ebooks -

*I want to spend money on your book.*

Don't make me jump through unnecessary hoops to see a sample of your book (with non fiction, just a contents page is often enough) or to BUY YOUR BOOK.

Have your own website.

Don't expect me to trawl Facebook/Twitter or (FFS) Instagram/TicTok to get info about your book

I want to buy your book

Make it hard for me to see or buy your book and I will simply NOT BUY YOUR BOOK

I'm starting a new book today. Normal People by Sally Rooney.

I bought it on a #bookbuying trip to #Victoria, #BC last October, and it's been sitting on my shelves ever since. Victoria has a great selection of independent #book stores so I make a point of doing a little book buying trip there every so often.

This book buying is getting out of hand

*waiting for 8 pm set alarm signaling start of the next book drop on FB*
