Books….ahhh, good old books.
I am an avid reader and book lover.
Is the original form of the book going out of style? I sure hope not! With the advancement of technology, we are
seeing more "electronic" versions of books. These ebooks can be found online, or through
libraries. I have tried reading a book
on my computer and on my tablet, but my preference is to have the actual book
in hand. I like the feel, weight, and
smell of the book itself. I like to be
able to "curl up with a good book", and take it with me wherever I
go. I like to be able to put it by my bedside, and use a bookmark to mark my
place. I love going into bookstores and
libraries. I hope books never go away!
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and here is how I get my good
old fashioned books, both new and used (and a few extra resources I have come
across):
Book sellers online:
Ecampus.com (Textbooks)
Kijiji.ca (books section, check in Winnipeg or other surrounding locations)
Bookbyte.com (New and used textbooks)
To pick up books in person:
Chapters Indigo (new books)
University of Manitoba Bookstore (new books, also have a used book store)
Value Village – Instore (used books)
Children's Hospital Book Market (used books) – St. Vital Mall (3
sales yearly – Fall, Winter and Spring).
