Another great choice, maybe even preferable seeing as Amazon bought AbeBooks, is #ThriftBooks. They also have excellent prices and you can earn points towards free books!

@Xavier I'm Gen X but not an electronics geek. I've tried dabbling in basic electronics (I like ham radio), but had a couple bad experiences in a row (one was a "for total beginners" online class that wasn't).
I was checking to see who else besides me used the #ThriftBooks hashtag today and found your post and now I have a copy of Getting Started in Electronics ordered from Thrift Books. :)
Thanks!

My regular reminder that ThriftBooks(.com) is a thing, and they are still, from what I understand, a really good company. I've been buying from them for years and love their prices and customer service. Shipping speed is good too!
I also love how I can get hardbacks that come from libraries. It reminds me of that freshly discovered joy as a kid, where you realize you can TAKE THE BOOKS HOME. :) It's also nice to feel like you're giving them an extra life after they've retired from their library gig.

I was answering a poll by @grumpasaurus and it reminded me about this amazing book about electronics that was written like a Captain Underpants book. I am curious if there are other #genX geeks that learned about #electronics from this book?
I'm digging around online for a copy. The amazon listing is $75, but #ThriftBooks has it for $20. Done! Now maybe my kids or grandkids will have the same joy in learning electronics.

Over the past month or so I've repurchased four books from my (let's call it...) youth. I have lost a lot of stuff from my childhood home and while I can't replace everything, I do like that I can some things.
In this case, the items are actually upgrades.
Picked up hardback copies of #StephenKing ,errr #PeterStraub (ha) #TheTalisman and #TheBlackHouse. Also grabbed hardbacks of #CliveBarker #WeaveWorld and #Imajica. (I've also got autographed copies of #Everville and #TheGreatAndSecretShow, but those were picked up years ago)
I've read them all in paperback way, way back in the day, but I like the security of hardback.
All I know is, I'm gonna be pissed if Amazon ever buys #ThriftBooks.

Just discovered what I hope is going to be a treat for Husband's birthday in a couple weeks: all four #DrPhibes books by #WilliamGoldstein, the fellow who co-wrote the first movie, #TheAbominableDrPhibes, one of his favorites. Found them at a good price on #ThriftBooks.

@grammargirl I didn’t need any books - but I ordered a couple from them anyway. 😊
It's time for me to turn off Kindle😑and buy the few books in there in paper form 👍
In other news your I never finished your old Grammar Devotional because an ebook was the wrong format for me for this book. I went to #Thriftbooks for an old copy. I know… someday I'll buy the new one…

Just finished Cory Doctorow’s Enshittification in 3 sittings. Definitely a great page turner, and if you’re a fan of the fediverse, this is the book for you. The only reason it took so long to read is the local library’s got a long waiting list for the book, even though it’s a 2 week loan. I finally got tired of waiting and bought it from Thriftbooks, a place where I buy used books normally.
Can’t say I disagree with any part of the book, I’m a believer in the points to book makes, deconstructing corporate power, and enabling labor power. #Enshittification #thriftbooks -

@analogfusion @Dave_Goldsmith Can't guarantee this will happen for you, but more than once I have ordered #books in "good" or "acceptable"condition from #ThriftBooks and received copies that were in much better condition than advertised - like-new or seemingly new. Great company, my bookshelf is full of books I have bought there.

@hollie I haven't had to use the customer service yet, but I agree that #ThriftBooks is indeed awesome!
I've only used them for about a year, and have already spent way too much money.
Not on far too many books, mind you, I don't think that's actually possible. 🤣

Another nod toward Thriftbooks(.com) as a great place. I've been buying from them for a few years now and the customer support is exemplary.
I have a small stack of unread art books. I flipped through one tonight and realized ten pages in the middle were torn out. I looked up the order, and the book was purchased six months ago. I emailed them, explained what happened, and three hours later (11pm PST) a person emailed me back, apologized, and refunded it.

Used book retailers often use coded stickers on the spines of their books, for ease of retrieval from warehouse stock. This makes perfect sense, but those stickers on the spines do not look great on your shelves. (Oddly, call numbers on library discards don't bother me.)
But, I'm here to tell ya that Thriftbooks stickers are easy as pie to peel off. Do not try this with Better World Books. Those stickers are forever.
