souravrana007 I love reading books. And I always buy new books. We have several thousand books in our personal library. All of my family members are fond of books and they believe in buying original, not used, whatever the cost is.

whyaskq I used to collect books but after the need to keep buying one cupboard after another, I realised this is not the right way. Besides, most of times, I do not re-read the books after I have completed it. So the cheapest alternative is for me to borrow. I borrow...

cortney09 I actually get my books a little bit of all of those ways. The only way I get new books is if I receive it as a gift or if I buy it at the Dollar Tree (since they are only a dollar there). I usually get them used though, either from other people or from one of...

gr8life Hello celestemichelle, I still go to a bookstore to get my books. I also go to my favorite second hand bookstore where I can get the same book for half of the price. If I really want to keep the book for my collection, I will go and buy a new book. The ones...

anuraa32 It depends actually on the need for which I am buying the book for. My reading for pleasure books are new. Reference books for my studies I would buy used ones or take from the library as I need them of various versions.

ElicBxn Honestly, I love bookstores, both new and used. If I find a book I really love, I want to keep it so going to the library is sometimes counter productive, because if I find a book I really like, I'm apt to go looking for it to own.

larish I also prefer second hand books. They are cheaper but the quality of the readings are the same. I usually spend my time looking at the bookstore selling used books and I usually spend almost one hour to look around and find what to buy.

Porcospino I use the library a lot. I have two different library cards, and sometimes I use the library close to my home. I can easily go there, but the library is relatively small and they don't have a large selection of books. I prefer the big library, but I can't go...

TenmaMetsuki I LOVE books, but ya know, I like having my own personal library o.o it feels nice =P although I don't mind letting people borrow some of my books, it's better than leaving them to be only read once by one person. I think I'd like going to a used books store,...

zzyw87 I like books so much that I am never choosy when it comes to these things. As long as I like what I read, I don't care if it is not brand-new. That is why I have both second-hand and brand-new books in my bookshelf. Sometimes, I borrow from the library but I...
