The Book Depository closing down!

[aurynne]

Just found out about the Book Depository closing down and I am gutted, I get most of my books from them! They always have what I'm looking for at great prices. I cannot afford the prices of new books at bookshops, and I'm an avid reader.

I don't understand why they're closing, they surely must have sold millions of books every year! Almost everyone I know buys books there.

Do you have alternative websites where you buy cheap books?

I use Abebooks to find 2nd hand books from a much wider range of sellers, including small independents (rather than a subsidiary of Amazon.) I rarely fail to find what I'm after.

Best value is a local 2nd hand book shop which is incredible but it's a bit hit and miss as their shelving system is charmingly idiosyncratic to say the least.

That's shocking, I can't understand why they would close it, it's so popular.
