While we’re at it, I s’pose it’s a good time to remind you that every time you buy the books we link to on ylcf.org, or use the search boxes in the sidebar to make any other purchases, a portion of the sale is returned to YLCF. We use that money to pay for our web hosting–the writers never receive anything from it. And when there’s a little extra from time to time, we use it to do book giveaways. (Stay tuned for more of those!)
Check out our new Bookshelf page. And if you’re hankering for some new children’s book titles, check out the new blog of a longtime YLCF reader, Hannah Jo McDow’s Children’s Bookshelf.
But before you go, however, we’d like to know, where is your favorite place to buy books online? Is there another site we should partner with? Please comment and let us know!

I’ve never bought books online, but for those interested in books which may be out of print, or other classic titles including poetry, you can go to http://www.gutenberg.org and download a text copy for free! This has enabled me to establish a *great* digital library! I use a free program called Bookshelf (highly recommended) to turn the books from plan text into a digital book. Go here http://www.download.com/3001-2125_4-10118379.html?spi=98348ebec508e7dd500973ea69650fbe to download the program.
Paperbackswap(http://www.paperbackswap.com/) is my favorite place to get books! Alibris(http://www.alibris.com/) is also a great and less expensive place to purchase books, including out of print books.
Hmmm, we buy I lot of our books from bookdepository.co.uk — it’s based in England, but they offer free shipping worldwide, and they often have better prices on their books than Amazon.
I’m glad you kept the bookshelf page!
abebooks.com has a ton of books for $1 or a little more. Good deal. But I don’t know if they have a partner program.
To God be all glory,
