I recycle a good many things. Books are no different.
I buy new books if I can not find them used. I adore going to flea markets, yard sales, thrift shops looking for awesome reads for only a buck or two. I have been known to sell books at my own yard sales over the years or more likely I give them to people that I know like that particular author or type of book.
When I give my best friend a book, it goes to her mother, then to her aunt in WV, then to her friend in KY. My books get a lot of miles. I have another friend that loves all the romance "smut" books my mom gives me that I wont read. She takes them by the box full! Any books I can not find a home for I take in bags to the Salvation Army or Goodwill. They have never refused me.
They also have stores these days that will buy your books back for partial price to be spent in their store. Most of them also take donations.
Libraries in these parts have sales at least twice a year to sell off their old stock of books- or books they have too many copies of. Depending on the library you can get books for $2 and under or, at my favorite library sale, you can get all you can stuff in a big paper bag for $5.
If all else fails theres always eBay or half-dot-com.
