| Next stop - the silent warriors (decommissioned ships) in Pearl Harbor's West Loch. |

| These gentle giants served with distinction ... |

| Our curiosity took us to a storage auction in Waipahu. Inspired by Storage Wars, I chatted with some of the "pros" who make their money reselling everyday goods at swap meets. I'll write more about the auction in a future post. |
 |
| Last stop - Jellie's Books in Aeia. It is a "Bohemian" store with gently read books, gently heard CDs, and gently viewed DVDs. Ivy found a book! |

I buy books from all sorts of places...used bookstores when I travel, Amazon, (sigh Waldenbooks/Borders was my favorite place), swap sites, etc. but I very rarely will buy a book if I don't have some kind of discount or coupon! Fortunately, I have two different library systems to work with so I frequently patronize both and occasionally donate some of the money I would have spent to purchase new books to the library which is always in a budget crunch!
ReplyDeleteWell I am specific about the books I buy I am into certain genres and certain authors , not all stores here stock them all so it is most of the time a store hop to find the ones I am looking for. But used bookstores and retail stores are useually where I end up.
ReplyDeleteI love to haunt used book stores but if I really want a book. I just go to Barnes and Noble.
ReplyDeletei buy book from book store, online book shop and book depository ;)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Ivy with her book. I buy my books onliine, at the local Barnes and Noble, and at a few independent books stores around town.
ReplyDeleteI like to buy books at our Half- Price book store. I get great bargains. I also will buy from B&N or Amazon. I also go to our library sale once a year and sometimes to garage sales or flea markets. I donate some of my books to our senior citizen center and to our hospital.
ReplyDeleteI buy most of my books online and if I have time I'll go to Strand's to browse the thousands and thousands of used books.
ReplyDeleteI get them at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, a thrift store that sells books at 10% of the original price, used book stores and I give some back to my American Legion.
