A lot of them are priced at only a penney, but the shipping and handling chahrge is $3.99, so the lowest price you can get any book for on Amazon is $4.00.

Hi Barbara!I have bought used books on Amazon for as low as $1.49, I think or maybe it was $1.96, and they were in quite good condition.Debby At 02:22 AM 4/14/2010, Barbara wroteYou can also get cheaper used books at Amazon.com Barbara --- On Tue, 4/13/10, Roger Loran Bailey <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> wrote:From: Roger Loran Bailey <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Obtaining Books to Scan To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, April 13, 2010, 2:18 PMTry ThriftBooks.com or PaperbackSwap.com. Also, you might want to look at the wholesale lots for sale on eBay. That can be more expensive in the sense of paying out a lump sum all at once, but it can be the source for about the cheapest price per book. The larger the lot the cheaper the individual books. Another source might be your local thrift store. They vary in price around the country, but if you are lucky enough to live in a cheap area you can get used books for pennies._ _ _"I contend that we are both atheists.

That is,what would be the most cost-effective way of finding and purchasing books that I might be interested enough to read and scan for the collection? Amazon is a great company and their prices are pretty good. However, I've seen used books on there asking for $4 for shipping, which is ridiculous when you can get books locally without paying that. Also, I'd feel mor comfortable about buying the books rather than borrowing from libraries because scanning necessarily destroys the spines. But if I could get books for free without having to worry about wrecking them, I'd certainly jump at such opportunities as well.
