I looking for a place with great selection but I don't want to pay all the separate shipping like amazon. I go to garage sales, good will and half price books but that don't always have what I want.

You can also order from several different sellers and pay one bill for the whole transaction. I could prob gush about it all night, but suffice it to say, I love it!

Half.com is related to ebay-- you do pay shipping, but it's often still cheap. But I do like amazon-- and more and more used books are now being offered with free shipping there. DeeDee

When I saw that onthegomom had posted, I figured that people were poking fun at it, as happened a few weeks ago with running shoes. I find good used stuff on all the sites mentioned here. Abebooks is always having sales. If I have a specific title in mind, I just search for it.

This are all usually close to the same grade level and are good material for that age child. You can't chose specific titles of course, but most of the lots list all of their titles separately. I have received boxes of 100 books for around $25.00 including shipping.
