Started with bookshop.org but I found this dope cafe x bookshop that's not listed there and I'm trying to go there at least once a month to support them. feels kinda good to get back into the store and see the same faces, even if the book is priced a buck or two more than on Amazon I still really prefer the experience. --- RS3: UltimaSuende - CE Thread Zone https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:986135799] in Do you sup...

Joelypoely 08/19/25 1:02:48 AM #7:	Most of the local bookshops here are too expensive and not worth it. However we did have a great store in the city which I would visit a few times a year, unfortunately it will probably be closing at the start of next year. <cite>Joelypoely posted [p:986135862] in Do you sup...

archizzy 08/19/25 1:06:46 AM #9:	Yes and no. Its like a 60 mile trip since I live in rural Midwest and its always decently higher priced than I can just order online. I mean I have a pretty good amount of disposable income and Im all for supporting local to a point but no one likes just giving their money away when they dont need to. When a book is a solid $10 more there and it takes me $10 worth of gas and a couple hours of my time when online will deliver it to my doorstep with a click of the button its hard not to utilize that. But I still occasionally will buy there. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.

rick_alverado 08/19/25 8:17:32 AM #19:	No, because the only local bookstore is a Christian bookstore, and Im not generally looking for theology books. But I also dont generally use stores like Amazon, so I cant vote in this poll. I mostly buy books from sellers on eBay. <cite>rick_alverado posted [p:986137351] in Do you sup...

mercurydude 08/19/25 9:09:23 AM #22:	We have a friends of the library store where good books are ultra cheap, so I support them. I don't know if we even have a regular book store anymore.

ReturnOfDevsman 08/19/25 9:13:45 AM #23:	Sort of. It's a chain with a couple dozen stores in about twenty states. I mostly go and see if someone's traded a few specific issues of Green Arrow. They never have. I realize, of course, how much of a long shot that is, lol.
