As a thrifty bestie reading this post, your first stop for books should always be your local library. Books are an — the! — best source of knowledge, and your local library branch is literally an entire building solely devoted to packaging the sum total of human knowledge into a few thousand square feet.

But sometimes you want to own the book. That’s cool, too.
Although you can get used books just about everywhere, my personal fave is BetterWorldBooks.com. Why?
- Stuff is reasonably cheap
- They run sales frequently (typically 25-30%)

- They donate books and raise money for libraries
- They have an absolutely adorable post-purchase email
