033 | Where Do You Find Good Books? Treasure Box Books | Dads Building Relationships, Reading Great Books, Preparing Children For Life podcast

Hey Dads,

You want to stock your family’s bookshelves with great books, but your time (and likely your budget) are limited. With so many millions of books to choose from and seemingly thousands of possible places to buy them, how do you decide where to look? Listen in for twelve of our favorite book sources. I'll also share some of the treasures we’ve found at each!

One Dozen Sources for Books

Betterworldbooks.com (Better World Books)
Free shipping on most books.
Thrift stores (Salvation Army, Goodwill, Savers, etc.)
Ollies.us (Ollie's Bargain Outlet)
Alibris.com
This site seems to specialize in textbooks.

Christianbook.com
Good source for inexpensive Bibles.
Scripturetruth.com (Scripture Truth Book Company)
Reliable source for Bible commentaries and study tools.

Also look for a homeschool co-op or support group in your area.
Internetarchive.org
Out-of-print, copyright-expired books are available to read online.

Specializes in out-of-print and collectible books, but not limited to these categories.
Most books reasonably priced and many books have no shipping cost.
