    I'm just wondering if anyone knows where to buy 2nd hand books? I'm looking for stuff like Stephen King books etc. I want to fill a bookcase that I bought but finding that buying new books is very expensive! I have gone into Dealz and found a few books, but it's mostly celebrity autobiographies in there. Does anyone know of anywhere online that you could buy in bulk?

    Any charity shops usually have books coming out their ears! To the point where a lot won't even take them in any more.

    Only place I can think of is Chapters in Dublin.

    Ok, I didn't even try charity shops because I had heard that they don't take donations of books anymore. So I assumed they don't sell them anymore! My mistake!!:D

    Abebooks.com

    Used them for years.

    You'd do well to find a book not available. In many cases shipping with be a greater charge than the book itself.
