All excellent condition and a 3 or 4 of them were on my current wishlist. I get a fair amount from Goodwill, library sales, a lot of hand me downs, used from Amazon and the occasional Usborne book thrown in for good measure. I also get a lot from closeout stores - I got a bunch of hardback Margaret Wise Brown books for $2 each at a local closeout store recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532636 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 23:05:45 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2532636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In addition to what others said I get them from Marshalls. All their books are about $3 cheaper or more than the price on the book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532601 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 21:27:19 +0000 SweetCaroline 2532601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Better World Books online. It's free shipping and supports a great cause. They are used books, I have been super impressed with the company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532583 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 20:25:28 +0000 milano14 2532583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy most of the kids books at an amazing book fair at a local library. They have books in great condition and cheap.<br /> Otherwise thriftbooks.com or amazon. Sometimes Walmart will have the books for much cheaper than amazon. I usually price check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532521 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 18:35:57 +0000 AngelicOne 2532521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Goodwill usually, sometimes TJ Maxx or Marshalls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532493 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 17:56:14 +0000 skipra 2532493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scholastic or sometimes TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

It's basically a book exchange website. Every book you send to someone earns you a credit to request one from someone else. They are used, but I've always found them to be good quality. Although I do use it for books for me, not children books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532432 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 15:58:27 +0000 youboots 2532432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532430 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 15:55:20 +0000 mauxie 2532430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: do you have any teacher friends that do scholastic for their classrooms? As long as you have their class code for online ordering, you can order directly and it'll ship with the rest of the class order. You can order different grade level stuff and the teacher will earn points so it's a win for them too. Just a thought :)</p> <p>We do mostly scholastic and Amazon, sometimes Costco </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532407 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 15:23:54 +0000 FaithFertility 2532407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scholastic :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532385 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 15:06:13 +0000 FancyGem 2532385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Half priced books, amazon, and book fairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-books-1#post-2532372 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 14:56:23 +0000 MamaG 2532372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: I wish our daycare would do scholastic!
