Never Pay Full Price For A Book!

Are you trying to intsill a love of reading in your babies?

1.

Garage and yard sales are a prime source for both hardback and paperback books. There are persons who will buy a book, read it once, and they're ready to get rid of it. I pick up lots of bokos at yard sales and never pay more than 50 cents each.2. Used bookstores are another place to find good reaidng material.

Store policies differ but most do somtehing like sell the books at half the cover cost. If you bring in bokos to trade, a store will usually give you credit for one-fourth of the original purchase cost. I sometimes buy books at garage sales for 50 cents, read the book, and take it to the used book store where I get more than my 50 cents in credit.If I find a book in really good codnition at a yard sale for less than 50 cents, I will buy it even if I don't want to read it cause I can trade it in for credit at the used bookstore.3.

Trading with friends and family is yet another way to get good reading material. My mom and I live 200 miles apart, but we always have a bag of books to trade whenever we vsiit each other. After we've both read a book, then it goes to the used bookstore.4. I have yesterday discovered that the Dollar Stores in our area (and probbaly in yours, too) have books, hardback and paperback, for $1.00 each. The selection is not really large, but they have fitcion and non-fiction and books for grown-ups and children, too.
A book can make a great gift and at a $1.00 cost it makes gerat economic sense, too.5. Bookstore chain stores, like Hastings, have claerance tables somewhere in the store all the time. It taeks some time to look through them, but I have bought many gifts from these clearance tables.6. If you know of a book you'd really like to have, why not just let your family know?

The library is a wonderful place to get a book you've been wanting to read without having to buy it.
You can also read the latest issues of most magazines at the librray. I consider public libraries to be one of the "finer things in life"!

So, if you, too, are an avid reader, or if you're guiding your babies to a lifetime love of reading, there is lots of ways to "read on the cheap"!
