Public libraries usually have a yearly sale, which they use to make room for newer books to add to their shelves. Often, the used hardcover books are sold by the pound! Many select books are sold for less than a dollar. Garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets and estate sales are other good resources. Once you become more practiced in recognizing the better quality used hardcover books, there are thousands of online booksellers, many of whom will find rare and out of print books for you. The eBay market always has a huge and ever-changing inventory of hundreds of thousands of books.
