Some times, the best friends are used books. How can you best find a way to lay hands on them?

My favorites?

Abebooks.com
Half.com

And of course, the delightful Bookcrossing. (Get acquainted with these folks - they rock!)

Heck, even Amazon gets into the act - but if you really want to support local, go check your yellow pages under 'Used Books' and go visit a few stores. Take cookies. You'll be glad you did,

See you tomorrow!

Have you used better world books (http://www.betterworldbooks.com/) at all? They're pretty awesome, especially because of their social mandate behind what they do.

For my older son's 25th b'day, I tracked down a copy of a book he had loved as a small child - I don't think anything else I ever gave him pleased him half as much as that book.

I'm "LilPatoodle" on BookCrossing, if anybody wants to "friend" me over there.
