Bookstores

• Don't forget to check what's in your local area if you need something specific. Especially at your library.
• Summer Camp Pro Ebooks 1/24/24 Written by the author of the excellent blog Summer Camp Pro, the main benefit of buying these ebooks is knowing they'll be saved in your data stash. Since websites cost money to keep onilne, except for Neocities sites, Summer Camp Pro, the blog, might not be up forever.
• Happy Hooligans Book Store The author of this amazing site for DIY and crafts for kids (and really anyone into crafts) didn't write books herself, but recommends them here.
• Project Gutenberg Might have what you need for free in electronic form, but only if it's old enough and popular enough.
• Bartleby Might also; mostly turn-of-the-century Imperialist English stuff.
• NYPL Ebook Resources As the world starts shifting to more digitization it looks like the NYPL is following suit. Of particular interest is their digital collections where you can legally read whole books online
• Goodwill Books They sell books, video games, music, and movies now, and the shipping is supposedly free. Will try it and tell you how it goes. 6/26/22 Tried it. Very good.
• US Government Bookstore Apparently. Sells stuff like fuel economy guides and the Navy Almanac.
• Craigslist Always worth a look
• Ebay Always worth a look
• Walmart They sell used textbooks now. At shockingly cheap prices.
• Half Price Books I recommend, from the bottom of my heart, that you visit one in person instead of try to shop for things online because for some reason it goes a lot better
• Harper Collins Included here because in 10 years of reading probably too many things, consistently this has been the publisher that published the highest quality and most useful books.
• The Strand For more obscure books, this is an independent bookstore in NYC.
• Scholastic These tend to be extremely high quality books for kids.
• Bartleby Textbooks There are only a few major publishers for college level textbooks. When it really comes down to it "all your base are belong to us" really applies to publishers like Pearson (which sucks), McGraw-Hill, and uh, several other unmentionables. Bartleby might be a major player also, I am now investigating their line of textbooks.
