Where do you get your books from?
Do you buy them?
Borrow them?
Or take them out from the library?

Re: Where do you get your books from?
Mostly the library - but if it's a book club book and I can't find it, I'll buy it.
I also get some from paperbackswap.com.
And I've gotten a couple of loaners off this board and then passed them on.

Re: Where do you get your books from?
I do booksfree.com Cheaper than buying, but with the kids napping schedules (one's usually sleeping while the other is awake) and DH's work schedule, it's tough for me to get to the library when they are open.

Library. I only buy when I think it's something I'll re-read.

Re: Where do you get your books from?
I can't stand my town's library... they have practically NOTHING and their borrowing system SUUCKS! I'll order on Amazon if it's a buck or less... or I'll ask my mom to get from her libary which is freakin' awesome!

Re: Where do you get your books from?
I always used to buy them off of Amazon or get them at BJ's but since I only read them once, I now go to the library and get them.

Re: Where do you get your books from?
I'm a librariian so I mainly just get them from the library but I do buy particular ones. I have a pretty big library at home. I also get galleys from conferences that I attend.

Re: Where do you get your books from?
I rarely buy books since I work in a library and just reserve what I want. If it's for a book club selection and I can't get it in time, then I'll buy it and bring it to work to add to the collection.

Re: Where do you get your books from?
The library. MIL works there so I request books online and when it's my turn for them, she picks them up and gives them to me. It's a great system, I just need to go there when it's time to return the books.
I do have to go in tonight and browse though, I'm at a loss for new reading selections.

Re: Where do you get your books from?
A lot of my books come from recommendations from friends and then I'll pass them on as well.
Or if I have to I'll buy from half.com.
