That Deaf Guy
CaseyLeBay is my go-to for nearly everything, including used books.
Some real bookstores also carry used books - Powell's in Portland, Third Place Books in Seattle - you might try ordering from them.
@CaseyL thank you, although I'm in England.
...oh. Oh, wait! I ordered something from Waterstones, back in '22. They're based in the UK, and have cheap books:
billy joe bowers 🗽Yes, ABE Books is Amazon.
Alibris is good, I'm not sure why they get mentioned so rarely.
🍋 Superball ☀️@billyjoebowers
I actually ordered a book from there today for the first time, thanks to your recommendation! Perfect timing.
PetraI was SO annoyed when I discovered that!
I recommend World of Books for used books - they have their own website - I have bought quite a few books from them now.
For new books there is https://uk.bookshop.org/ who also support local bookshops.
lonely extrovert@PetraPhoenix @ItsThatDeafGuy i think bookshop.org is also in the US...

I found that out the hard way, too, when I thought I’d been boycotting Amazon for years. Moved onto ThriftBooks and Better World Books.

Paper Moon@ItsThatDeafGuy interesting. There is a book on Amazon sold at £160 that I got from Abe for £3.20. I guess the portal is acting as an agent and just collecting a commission.
bencourtice@ItsThatDeafGuy biblioquest is reasonable for secondhand. A lot of smaller publishers will also let you order direct from them.
Jo - pièce de résistance@ItsThatDeafGuy yeah. I used to shop there a lot until they got bought out.
cathos@ItsThatDeafGuy yeah... Bookfinder too.
