Particular book ,I buy from online stores. when i want to buy books in general,i visit bookstores to buy few books. both have their own merits and demerits. They can co exist.I pirate and use the library but when I do browse to buy to something then it is at a local used bookstore but only because the owner is patrician and keeps good shit on handyep, there's a nice local bookshop in my town and i go in and order my books directly from them. i'm somewhat friendly with a couple of the bookshop people by this point and we talk about books and they do a loyalty card where you get ten stamps and you get £10 off the next book. it's extremely comfy even if it is a bit less convenient than just ordering from amazonthe bookstore owner near my home is my friend. even tho his store is filled with entry core books,YA,mangas that sell always, he is Always happy to accept special orders which will make him contact his retailer to order those books for me. but that will only happen if I buy books in bulk (which i usually do).Not when there's a rainbow flag hanging from the window>>24098631 >"local" Portuguese bookstore >writes in english
