Order your reading material from Better World Books ?

Overview: The Online Bookstore with a Soul


Lots of good, CHEAP, reading. Heavy on the cheap, eh.

Seriously, most titles are available, and the shipping is FREEEEEEE!!!!!

NO financial interest personally. Just think it's a good place, and being the kind, touchy feely guy I am, just wanna share.

8O........Hey, I did something positive instead of slagging Harpo.

Surprised me too.

Cormac McCarthy is one of my favourite authors, and due to BWB, I've been able to get his complete works. Couldn't afford it otherwise..............ahh poor me, eh.

:lol:

PS: Their delivery time from the States is pretty fast too. Bout a week, ............................or so.

I'm going to find out. Their prices are good that is for sure. Amazon wanted more for the same book and extra on top for shipping.

They sent a humorous email confirming my order. I thought it was cute.



Hello Peter,

(Your book(s) asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say no?)

Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me! I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Mishawaka, Indiana already - the friendly people, the Hummer plant, the Linebacker Lounge - so many memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to everyone, but it's time to see the world!

I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person. Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched between Jane Eyre (drama queen) and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Jane was an upgrade from that stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am?

I know the trip to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but after the close calls I've had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some of my best friends are suspense novels). Just five months ago, I thought I was a goner. My owner was moving and couldn't take me with her. I was sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a Better World Books book drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book shopping, I've found a new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are helping kids read from Brazil to Botswana.

But hey, enough about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things:

I just ordered two more from Awesomebooks.com.

The price includes shipping, and if past experience is any indicator, I'll have them in about a week.

Hell of a good deal.
