libraries. I love reading books when I can actually turn the pages

Buy, Buy, Buy. I liked having over-flowing book shelves, they make me appear smarter than I am. I primarily buy my books used from library sales, and used book stores. I will occasionally purchase new books, usually from amazon when they have sales.

I buy all my books either at the store, online, or used on ebay.

I kind of misplaced one or two books from my library a while ago, so I don't go there, in case they chase me for them! And, to my knowledge, you're not allowed to just sit and read books in the book store, here. So I buy them.

Library is the way to go for me. But if I really enjoy a book and want to re-read it occasionally or if it's not available in the library (like most graphic novels and comics), I'll buy it. Usually off Amazon because it's usually cheaper.

I do both. Sometimes I will buy the book, sometimes I will just borrow one from the library.

I own a lot of books. I buy books that I love, or find really neat. But now that I've moved next to a library I use that a lot too.

i like to use second hand bookstores; I find lots of classics and they're dirt cheap

amazon primarily. I read things like manga and humor books in barnes and noble, but for books that take less than a half hour to read, i buy them online.

You should try bookdepository.com - free shipping on everything all the time and bookcloseouts.com ( pretty good deals on books). I buy most of my books, I also have a kindle and there are a lot of freebies out there for it.

I tend to buy more books than I borrow -- only because I love the looks of a full bookshelf. If I could surround myself in books, I'd be a very happy girl.

I do all three. I buy books I love and use the library for the rest.

As a general rule, I only buy books used. But I utilize my library a ton.

I use the library to try out new books or authors or just read books that I know I don't need to buy. If I find I like an author and want to find more by them I go to the Wee Book Inn where I can get a book for around $5, and if I love an author or series I will buy them new.
