Here are some ideas for saving money on books:
1. Buy books at Costco. People I know who buy several books a month claim to save many times the price of their store membership.
2. Submit titles of books you require to your local librarian. One avid reader I know has had almost all of her suggestions for titles purchased by the library.
3. Look for books at garage sales. I bought two books with a $9.95 cover price for 50¢ each, and they were in excellent shape.
4. Stores like Zellers and Sears often have “bargain bins”. I have seen beautifully-illustrated books with a cover price of $25.99 go for $7.95.
5. Online books stores, like Amazon.com, often sell used books for considerably less than new books.
6. Sometimes you see a non-fiction book that you’re interested in, but know that there are only two or three chapters out of thirty that you want to read. Find a Chapters or Indigo book store, sit in a comfortable chair and do your reading on the spot. But don’t do this too often—writers need to eat, too.
