PostTue Apr 03, 2007 6:36 pm    Used Star Trek Books

Hi - I've been looking around the Internet for used Star Trek books. So far the cheapest I have found was Amazon - $0.01 for the book, but the shipping comes to $3.49 - so basically $3.50 per book used.

Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get them cheaper???

Thanks!

Your local Library. Its your tax $$$, use it. No kidding out of the 70 or so ST books, 60 were from the library. If they did not have a book I wanted to read, they would get it from another Library, or just buy it. My Library also as all star trek on video/ or dvd

I usually pay about 25 cents or 50 cents per book. I get them at garage sales, thrift stores, and library book sales, etc. Amazon is the best online, especially if they happen to be in the same general area as you!

I'll be moving in a few weeks and would be glad to get rid of some old books I am not especially fond of (Totally free. I'd be glad if my old books would find a nice new home where they are appreciated).
What's on your wish list? Maybe I have it.

edit: you can find a list of the books here. Active links lead to a synopsis at amazon.com; inactive link means the book is already taken.

Definetly go local when you're looking for a used book, unless its very rare. Shipping is pricey. I've got most of the tng paperbacks and I paid ten cents each at a library sale.
