Ideas To Help You Find Cheap Bibles

By Harriett Crosby


If you are a recently converted Christian or you are just interested in reading the bible but you don't have a lot of money to spend, there are various ways you can go about cheap bibles. Since various issues affect the price of the books, it is important to take those issues into consideration when you are looking for a good bargain. This will make it easier for you to find what you are looking for.

One of the first places to check should be with your local church. This is especially so if the church owns a bookstore. If you are not a member of any particular church, try to find a church within your neighborhood. Some churches subsidize the costs of the books, so you may be able to buy one at quite a low cost. Alternatively, you can ask the church to sell you any old books that were left behind by some members of their congregation and have never been claimed. They would probably be willing to sell such books at a low price.

The other option is to get in touch with publishers that sell the books. Buying the books directly from the publisher may cost a lot less than having to buy them from retailers. One of the easiest ways to find publishers is by checking out their websites to see how much they are wiling to sell the books. The publisher will then ship the book to you at a low cost.

The other thing you can do is to buy the books in bulk. This will qualify you to get discounts, which will reduce your overall purchasing price. You can make orders from bible societies as most of them are willing to provide reasonable pricing for bulk orders. You can also contact your local bookstore to see if they would be willing to give you quantity discounts for large purchases.

To find a low priced book, find editions that are in wide circulation as they tend to cost much less. Avoid limited editions or books that have been out of print for many years, as these tend to cost much more. Compare the costs of the different translations, since they are often priced differently. Check out different stores and find a store whose prices are relatively low.

Second hand books tend to cost much less than used books. Take time to find a second hand book that is still in good condition and you can still use. Some major areas to check when buying a second hand book include the cover, inside pages and binding.

There are some sellers that generally tend to sell low priced products. Check with them if they have any books. This means that you have to attend rummage and yard sales. You may also want to check out book auctions and flea markets.

It is not that difficult to find cheap bibles. You just need to be patient and take time to look around. Whatever budget you have, you can be able to purchase your own book. Just have an open mind and be willing to try out a number of options to find what you are looking for.
