Buying books is expensive!

Use your library. In Australia your library is paid for by your local council, or if you library is a mixed used facility paid for by a combination of council funds and whatever is funding the partnership. For example my local library is located on the grounds of a high school and is funded by federal and state taxes (like all public schools) and by the local council.

So on three different levels, I pay for this library through my taxes and through my land rates. My point is, you are paying for the provision of facilities such as your local library. Why not use them!

My library has free wifi/computer access, vast collection of dvd's, cd's and audio books, free childrens activities and a great collection of magazines. And the variety of books is excellent too.

But sometimes you want a particular book to own, or you just don't want to wait for it to become available at the library.

Booko is a great site that will compare the price + postage of your book from online retailers. Want to buy more than one book? Booko will allow you to make a comparison chart of a selection of books, comparing overall which online retailer is the best value.

Discalimer. The websites and/all products I have mentioned are in no way shape or form paying me for this review. I will happily accept payment and I will consider doing payed features, however I will always be upfront with the conditions placed on any features.
