Hardcover book prices

[Mareacooda]

I not pay much attention to Robert Jordan as Fantasy author but I have Senior friend who actually looking hardcover copy to replace some raggy softcovers...  I trying help find copies in their price range since they are limited income....Man...Hardcovers of this  author and the series Wheel of time seem very prices... I see over $16.00 ea for used copy..... When did used hardcover books become pricey....  I understand if first edition and collector ed. But Senior friend she just looking hardcover not collector edition...  something hold up better multi reading than paperbacks...

Have anyone who into traditional hardcover book run into struggle get collection completed?

Anyone any suggestion or tips to find these used hardcover copy this serirs... I check and watching ebay, Amazon and few other used books stores....I hoping travel later this week check few places like Good Will or Salvation Army.. ect..

Try abebooks.com as a secondhand book site.

Thriftbooks is a good place to buy used hardcovers.

Goodreads is a site that helps you keep track of your books, they also have links to where you can buy books.

remember!  Amazon started broadcasting the TV show so that will make the hardcovers either super hard to find, or they will get re-printed and you can find them cheaply.

books in general are insane because of shipping though
