Better World Books is where I buy on-line if a title cannot be ordered through my local indie book store. Yes, I pay more than Amazon charges, but we need to put our dollars where are values/hearts are. And BWB offers books both new and in good used condition, with the price of the latter often less than at Amazon and used better than new for the planet. I very frequently buy used.

Yes I am in New York and we still have The Strand and a few independents so I am ok. For years I lived in the UK and even after Amazon there are bookstores everywhere, although not as many. I miss all the hours I spent browsing which is something Amazon cannot replace especially with its really shitty search engines.

Thx for the tip. I'm a book lover.
Many independent book sellers also use Alibris.com if you are looking for a place other than Amazon to buy books.
