I love it when you guys write in and tell me how you are saving money!  I got this email from a follower, Christy who filled me in on her book saving secrets that I thought was definately worthly of a blog post.  Thanks Christy and please keep sending me your tips.

Anna, I just wanted to let you know about a great deal in Smyrna. There’s a used book store called “The Book Stop” at the corner of Atlanta Road and Paces Ferry. They buy used books for ¼ of the face value and sell books for ½ of the value. You don’t get cash for your books, but you get a store credit to use toward your purchase. You can only use your credit for half of your total purchase, but it’s still a great deal! I just took a laundry basket of old paperbacks today and got a credit for $70. I picked up 4 books and l only had to shell out $10 in cash, and I still have a $60 credit for future use. Much less expensive than Borders!  

Here’s a link to their website: http://thebookstoponline.com/TBStop_TradePolicy.htm
