Reader’s Resources

Reader’s Resources:    Where to buy BOOKS! …  audio… new… used…

Goodreads

Goodreads is a great resource. You can look up any book that’s ever been published and find out where to buy it, or put it on your virtual bookshelf to read later. It includes reviews by other Goodread members (membership is free).There is a social networking aspect to the site, which is not compulsory. But if you enjoy giving reviews and would like to see what your friends have read, then it’s there for you to use.

USED BOOKS OR NEW?

Buying new books is a treat, both for the reader and the writer.

The big names don’t need a mention from me, but here are some other options.

Independent bookstores: – there’s nothing like one’s local bookstore. Support them when you can.

FIND YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE

In US: http://www.indiebound.org/indie-store-finder

In UK:  http://localbookshops.co.uk

However, I’m a great believer in buying used books – better still join your local library.

Two online companies that are great for used books are Abe books and Alibris 

www.alibris.com

www.alibris.co.uk

www.abebooks.com

www.abebooks.co.uk

These are particularly good for out of print books.

If you are in the U.K., many of the charity shops have great used book sections, and Oxfam has specific stores dedicated to books alone.

AUDIBLE BOOKS

There is a huge selection at http://audible.com

Listen to audio books AND support your local bookstore with https://libro.fm

But if you want some classics for free, check out http://librovox.com
