There's also a book sharing service called BookMooch. (bookmooch-dot-com)
It was created by John Buckman, who runs the music label Magnatune and I
believe is affiliated with the EFF.

Amazon has no bad influence. It will only try to sell stuff. And if somebody
can't refrain from buying a good offer that person is either perfectly human

Greetings again.
Don't worry, I've been asking and they don't order their books from amazon.
They have told me what their distributors are and amazon was not in their

I hope this information will make you sleep more serenely.
Reasons not to buy from Amazon:

Religion, in any form, is poison. So is the armageddon between the free

hello again ladies and gentlemen.
I've found a local bookstore that can actually order the books I want.
Thank you lembas, Mzee, leny2010, libredrs and Eemeli for the
recommendations.
Until nex time.

In Germany you can buy printed books and support the FSF at the same time by

I have local bookstores but they have problems when ordering foreign language

bookstore that could obtain those books for me. In case they couldn't, I will
rely on the online shops you recommend.
Thank you everyone.
The radio said ABEBooks is owned by Amazon. Best go to a local bookshop
direct.
If it must be online this store is highly recommended by WYK online culture

For new books look up who the publisher is and buy direct from their website.

I've used AbeBooks and Alibris. You can search for books at

Good book-hunting!
Greetings ladies and gentlemen.
I want to buy a particular printed book online because it is not in my

where I could buy?
Thank you.
