Check also with your local public library — they sometimes sell books cheaply that have been donated or removed from their collection.

Pretty sure those would go to other organizations in our city. But great info.

This is a donation book fair, all donated books, all proceeds to charity.

My library was selling a bag of books for a dollar. As in, you bring a bag, fill it with your choice of books, and pay a dollar. Not sure if they still do that, but they were getting overwhelmed with donations.
