Books can illuminate a child’s creativity and allow their brains to grow with every word. As a parent of four, I encourage reading to my children by purchasing them books to read. However, I have found that purchasing brand spankin’ new books can get a bit pricy. So it is a good idea to consider buying previously owned books instead. With a pre-owned book you can still get the quality of a new book for far less cash. Where do you look for great used books? Well, here are five locations you can look into.

Half.com
Half is notorious for low cost books, music and movies. As an eBay company, you can rest assure that it is a company you can trust. Unlike eBay, Half is not an auction, but an e-commerces store which makes things a whole lot simpler. Payments go through Half.com and not through a seller– like eBay auctions. The quality is arranged in topics like Brand New, Like New and Good. One tip to consider for Half.com is that some sellers may place higher quality items in the Good category. It is a good idea to look for sellers with solid positive feedback.

Library Book Sales
Library sales are smart places to find children’s books for cheap. During these sales events, library’s are looking to get rid of them and are willing to part for a very low price. Be sure to check out your local newspaper or call your local library to find out when their next book sale is occurring.

Garage Sales
During spring cleaning, many people will start to clear out things in the basement, garage or attic. Among these things may be some children’s books. You could stock up on your J.K Rowling collection for 20 cents a book. In the spring and summer months, check out your local newspaper classifieds for sale locations.

Thrift Stores
Some people, instead of having yard sales, donate their items to secondhand stores. You might want to check around your local secondhand stores for books at excellent prices. As the saying goes “one person’s junk is another person’s treasure”.

Amazon.com
Consider checking out Amazon for used children’s books for sale. Do a search for a book and you will find that there are used copies up for sale. This process is similar to Half.com except you get the option to purchase either used or new. Again, like Half, be sure to check the seller’s feedback and make sure that it is positive before making a purchasing decision.

In closing, buying quality books doesn’t have to cost you a lot of money. There are many places for you to find the right book at the affordable price. You just never know where the best deal is on books until you do your homework.
