Shouldn't this bit be in the for sale section? or possibly a paid advert?

Apologies - I'm just trying to do some research to see where everyone gets their books from. My main reason for posting was not a sales pitch.

Libraries.

charity shops

Me too, charity shops, boot fairs and libraries.
There are also heaps of stuff to download for free from the internet.
We tend to share a lot of books/resources amongst the He community/local groups as well.

I have bought work books from WHSmiths in the past but they are left feeling bereft and dusty on a shelf.

ebay, charity shops, direct if poss)

emmaagain · 12/01/2008 10:46

And Amazon or book depository,

and browsing in local bookshops

Just everywhere normal people buy books...

Saturn74 · 12/01/2008 10:49

the book people website
charity shops
second hand book shops and car boot sales - DS1 loves to haggle!

Julienoshoes · 12/01/2008 15:56

Ah yes car boot sales and Ebay!

I love Freecycle too and periodically we have a big home ed resource sale amongst local home educators-where the group takes 10% of the selling price-home educators always have loads of resources to pass on!
We are going to do it again next month and we'll use the profits to subsidise another of our group meetings which isn't breaking even yet.

There is even a Yahoo,list to help find resources for home education;
groups.yahoo.com/group/Home_Education_Resources/

I do use Amazon "New and Secondhand" a lot too-with that and Ebay, I got a whole series of 8 books that DH asked for last Christmas for about a thrid of the new cost that way

Julienoshoes · 12/01/2008 15:57

LOL the 8 books last Christmas were for my ds not my dh!
