If you want some cheaper ways of buying books, you should check out www.thriftbooks.com. They have free shipping on all orders and most of the books I've gotten from them have been about $3.95. I belong to like seven book clubs, and am a member at barnes and noble so I buy like on average maybe 30 to 40 books a month s...ometimes. We book lovers need to stick together, especially since too many people are doing the books online thing. We need to let authors know that there are still people who like the traditional books instead of them just putting them online and not on paper.
