looking for a place to buy books online

Sparhawk · 12-15-2009, 08:53 AM

...this should be a slam dunk - amazon etc....however its a bit more complicated than this - you see I found this australian author called Trudi Canavan - she wrote a triology called the black magician triology and I REALLY want it.

Now comes the challenge for me....all I can find is measly paperbacks - no hardcovers - so if anyone spots or knows a place that have the hardcover please pm or write inhere so i can go use the money i don't have....

Was it ever printed in HC? A lot of new or untested authors only get paperback releases. Heck, Bob Salvatore didn't get a HC release until... Spine of the World IIRC

It is published in HC yes - the local shop here in Copenhagen had them but can't get them anymore - so I was sort of hoping that some online shop have them....but damn its hard to find them.

I really hate breaking triologies and stories up in both HC and PB - since it kinda looks stupid on my wall ( I know - its a damn luxury problem to have )

Have you tried the publisher's website?

SpiritWarrior · 12-15-2009, 12:39 PM

Ebay. Brand new and used.

Also Abe Books is a great place for used books with a great price. They have your author as well. Link:

Ebay did the trick - thanks a lot guys ( and girls ) been looking all over town for those and I even saved ALOT of money.

Got them for 10 bucks a piece - I have to pay 50 dollar pr book here in town so I think Ebay just got a regular customer out of me.

Ziroc · 12-16-2009, 12:29 PM

Yeah, eBay is the place if you don't care if the book is in non mint cond...

When we went to Louisville, KY last year, we found a used book store--called "half-priced books store" and found one in Lexington too.. I found TONS of original Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance novels there-each like $1.50!!!! I was in heaven! hehe.. so I bought all the ones I never read, and UPSed them home! hehe..was awesome!

Some of them had the covers laminated.. like for a library but I didn't see any stamps on it... I wish they had a used bookstore chain here.. They buy books too.
