6 Reasons Why You Should Put Your Faith in Used Books

Books are books! Irrespective of the fact that they are new or second hand. Books are a workout for the mind, they are gateways to different worlds, they are the best tools of learning. Books are indeed the mind’s best friends and we are sure you intend to keep it that way!

The concept of second-hand books has gained perspective and popularity in recent times and it is definitely here to stay. Used books are like treasures and if you are lucky enough you might even find some hidden gems that have gone out of print or have been put an end to being published.

However, it is the human tendency to think twice before putting faith in anything which goes for second-hand books as well. We at Bookends strive to make used books a new way of reading and we are here to tell you why you should put your faith in used books or what we like to call pre-loved books:

Reasons Why Used Books are Still Important:

#1 - Sustainable and Environment Friendly:

We live amongst a generation that wants the best for the environment and themselves. We aspire to be living a sustainable life that allows the environment to prosper just as much as we are as a result of which second hand books have become one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly options you could go for. Plus, you don’t need any electricity to operate them, unlike a Kindle. Imagine being an eco-warrior by switching to second-hand books and gaining the same amount of reading thrill as you do otherwise (sometimes even better).

#2 - Pocket Friendly:

Buy Old Books Online

 They say time and knowledge shall cost you nothing. And we are sure this was said in the context of used books! Second-hand books are a lot less costly than a new edition or a new copy of the book you wish to read. There is no condition to reading that says a book should always be new before you read it. At Bookends every book is in great condition to give you a better reading experience. Second-hand books are easy on the pocket and you can buy more of these at the cost of a new one.

#3 - Expands Your Reading Horizons:

A used book can generate interest towards genres you haven’t tried before owing to the fact that you have already begun to expand your reading horizon when you step into the world of second-hand books. While the bookstores you generally visit influence your reading choices based on bestselling and popularity bifurcations, choosing a book at a second-hand bookstore is solely based on your choice and preference.

#4 - Easy to Find, Read and Buy:

Used books are often easier to find than new copies are. You can easily find international bestsellers and classics at Bookends and save that sort of time by buying more second-hand books at our portal! It is also rather easy to read a second-hand book because the extensive process of breaking into the book has already been done and you might also be greeted with a note or two during the course of your reading endeavour thus gaining more perspective on the book than you could have if you bought a new book.

#5 - Reduces a Book Lover’s Anxiety:

Being a book lover comes at the cost of having to save up for pricey new copies of books, making sure they stay in the right condition and then having to go through the guilt of watching them lie on a bookshelf while you make this an endless cycle. Second-hand books are a process in themselves that can be read and passed on to others thus making it a sustainable and book-loving cycle.

#6 - You Get to Contribute to a New Community:
