Ideas To Help You Find Cheap Bibles

By Harriett Crosby


If you are going through a difficult situation or if you are a Christian and want to grow and mature in your faith it is necessary to have a Bible. If you are on a tight budget, there are some steps you can take to help you find cheap bibles. By knowing what steps to take you will find affordable books to buy.

One of the ways to find an inexpensive book is to contact your local church. Some churches get donations form various individuals and organizations, which makes it possible for them to sell them at a lower price. Some churches have a lot of books that may have been left behind by their owners and have often been left unclaimed for many months or years. They may be willing to sell you such books at a throw away price.

Another way to find low cost books is by getting in touch with publishing houses. Buying books directly from a publishing house rather than having to pass through a retailer is usually less expensive. Start your search for a publishing house online and get in touch with them. Most of them would be willing to ship the book to you no matter where in the world you are.

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.

It is advisable to buy translations that are in large supply. This is because editions that are in limited supply may tend to cost more. Check the different translations that are available and try to find one that is the most inexpensive, since different translations are priced differently depending on the level of supply. It may be worthwhile to look around different bookstores and compare prices as some stores may charge more than another one for books.

The condition of the book also matters. Books that are new and in excellent condition tend to cost much more than used books. Consider buying used books that are still in a presentable condition. When buying a second hand book, some of the things to watch out for includes the condition of the cover, the binding used the condition of the pages and its size.

Go to places which tend to sell books at throw away prices. You may find some really good bargains. This includes flea markets, yard sales and auctions. You may get a really good book that is still in excellent condition at quite low prices.

When looking for cheap bibles, determine how much money you can afford to spend. Then take time to carry out research to find a willing seller. With lots of patience, it is possible to find a book that you can buy, which is still in good condition.
