10 Of The Best Online Book Stores

Although I’m not a religious person, I can accept as truth the following “In the beginning was the Word”. The maxim has probably a thousand meanings, but one that got me heated up is that language is not only an expression of our thoughts, it’s also the very meaning of our social existence. You may call it common knowledge, although I’m not sure it is. Point is, books have been the very center of our expression, imagination, sub-refuge, meaning, philosophy, evolution, and so much more. We grow with books, we live among them, and we will always read books. As books’ prices went up (especially affecting the student sector), people started to prefer alternatives, such as online book stores that offer lower prices on them, which otherwise can cost a fortune, not to mention that online stores in general are way more accessible than physical ones. As such, we’ve made a list of ten best online book stores.

10. ValoreBooks
