eBay 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.

Well, if you want to avoid Amazon and Amazon-adjacent businesses...

@CaseyL I'm after second hand books, buying new books isn't always financially viable for some people, but thank you.
