Where do you purchase your books?
Online or Stores?
This has become a growing thought for me. And a new thing as well. I like to purchase my books at the local book store. Call me goofy if you want, but I love going through the store and staring at the shelves. The books are just wonderful things for me to look at. I pull ones off the shelves, look at the covers, read the descriptions, and thumb through them. This was one of the best ways to find that diamond in the rough for me. I loved taking a book that looks good and sounds good and even sounds good from a paragraph or two from the inside, home with me. One that I'd not heard of before. And to mention I'm supporting the store to stay open so I can keep doing this.
But...
I've found I find LOADS of books that are NOT on the shelves, in which I would completely LOVE online. Yep, you all have helped me find this and figure it out. Thank you to all my online blogger friends and authors. I now am starting to become an online purchaser. I purchase from different publisher sites and book distributors as they carry the books my book store does not have. I enjoy it! And the idea of coming home to seeing the books on my door step waiting for me is wondrous. This is a growing new for me.
I do still buy at the store or even order them at the store so the store gets credit and stays open, but I also purchase books they don't have online at other venues. Wonderful places them all!
So what about you? Where or how do you purchase your books?
