Bargain Books

So yeah...I buy books, a lot of them, but in this instance I'm talking specifically about comic books.

I've bought comic books for years at Cheryl's Comics, a great little shop in Charleston, in the area known as Kanawha City.
But she and I are in agreement; some of the things you can buy through her, you can get cheaper online. Now the monthly comics themselves are pretty much the same online or in the store, with the caveat that you have to pay shipping under some circumstances. So I save money by buying those from her, and I enjoy doing business with her.

But when it comes to the hardcover books like Sinestro Corps War: Volumes 1 & 2, Tales of the Sinestro Corps, Green Lantern: Rage of the Red Lanterns, and Green Lantern: Agent Orange, which are all books that play a part in The Blackest Night...you can get them up to 34% off MSRP by buying through Amazon.com.

Shop smart. Support your local comic book store, but save money where appropriately.
A bad economy doesn't mean going without your comics; point of fact, if we all spent more carefully, our economy wouldn't be in the situation it is now.
