Just wondering where everyone picks up their Star Wars books. I live a really small town, and the libraries don't really carry any SW books. When I do make to a bookstore, I have most of the ones they have on their shelves, and the ones the I don't have I'm not sure where they fall in the timeline.
Just wondering if there were any online stores anyone uses. I am just starting to pick these up again after a few years.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Amazon.com. The bookstores have a terrible selection, if you can even find the SciFi section at all.... and I live in a big city...
Barnes and Noble has an online store, too.... both are reliable and quick to ship.

OR
perhaps a TJA "Book Swap" or virtual library. Members could swap books via mail to allow for greater choice in reading.

The book swap is neat idea. not sure how you would work it though. Hmmm. Perhaps a "Jedi Archives" area of the buying/trading/selling forum where members could post what books they had for trade or loan then details worked out via PM? Dunno, just seemed like a good idea. Got rid of most of mine a few years ago (donated to library) so I have only a few to toss in myself but with the members at TJA every book would be accounted for I'm sure. |

Unless you are a bit of a stickler for having brand spanking new books, the best bet and most economical is to buy very good condition used books from Amazon booksellers...I realize the shipping is a bit high compared to taxes, but the savings you get from the original price are way more than the offset from the shipping charges!
