I'm from Malaysia. And I usually get books delivered to my doorstep from a local bookstore called MPH Bookstore coz the town I live in doesn't have any bookstores. If I travel to the city, I'd usually go to Popular Bookstore, or maybe Kinokuniya.

New books: Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, target sometimes also Older books/used: Thriftbooks! You can get a book for about three dollars. Any book!

I need to thank you Ben, my friends and I are in London so I dragged them to Foyels because you recommended it in the video and I was just amazing!!! The best book shop I've ever been to! They loved it too!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

totally out of context but I love your videos because you have such amazing energy. You just make me want to smile :)

All the way from the Philippines here and I love your videos. You are funny and insightful. I buy all my books from 3 stores that are close to me FullyBooked, National Bookstore and Book Sale outlets!. I'm lovin your videos. More pls!.

I use amazon, thriftbooks, bookoutlet and bookdepository a lot as well as barnes and nobles.

I was just going to write bookdepository! such a great website. I love that the shipping is free too.

I LOVE the Foyles up in Charring Cross. The first time I went there I almost cried, it has so much. Like it has such a wider range than Waterstones (I love you Waterstones, but I agree, they need to have a larger YA collection, especially in the smaller shops). I've never bought anything from the book people, but I reaaalllyyy want to, especially after seeing those amazing prices (and the free shipping on orders over £25 holla).

This was so helpful cause I only really buy books in Waterstones and Amazon but I'm going to London in October so I'm defiantly going to foyles ! :)

The way you ended the video with a dance was priceless! Love it

Awesome! :D I went to Waterstones and Foyles when I was visiting London and I loved Foyles. :)

I'm from turkey and I can't stop watching your videos.

I live in Canada and I buy all my books from Chapters which is basically the Canadian version of Barnes and Nobles. Its a great bookstore but I find they have been focusing more on other items they sell and less about the actual books. Also, books in Canada are always more expensive than the American pricing which is frustrating. Loved the video! Can't wait for the next one!

Foyles has always been amazing to browse and shop for books.........I also love Waterstones too though!! ☺️

Thank you so much! i'm going to London in a couple of weeks and i always buy books in England since it's cheaper than in Sweden, and i will definitely go to Foyles now! :) And I buy my books online , a Swedish book website :)

Im in canada and i usually always buy my books from my local indigo store. They're usually always pretty well stocked and have the latest releases. I pre-ordered City of Heavenly Fire a week or so before it came out and i got it delivered the day it came out which was pretty awesome :)

Whenever I'm in London I go to Waterstones and Foyles, I love them! I myself live in the Netherlands and I mostly buy books from the Bookdepository or, when I'm in Amsterdam, Waterstones or the American Book Center. I also love to go to the Boekenfestijn which is this super cheap travelling book market :)

I love Barnes and Nobles, but I also enjoy buying at at small Japanese book store called Book off. They have great used books.

In Norway I usually buy my books on Norli, Notabene or Outland. But when I was in London I bought A LOT of books, both from Daunt Books, Waterstones and Foyles.

Australia- Book Depository, Ebay, Booktopia (shipping), Dymocks (not online)! Love Book Depository most, free shipping but can take up to like 1-2 weeks! There's also fishpond but I haven't used it yet!

I live in the US and I go to Barnes and Nobel for most of my books. I'm lucky enough to live like five minutes away from a very spacious Barnes and Nobel and I love it! I love the lay out and their selection is typically amazing! My only complaint is that they tend to be a bit pricey. I have only ever ordered a book from Amazon once (actually I didn't, my mom did for me), and I was very pleased! It was City of Heavenly Fire, and I know that a lot of people had problems getting it on time when they had pre-ordered it, but I was one of the lucky ones that woke up to a book at their door at 10am on release day. I also keep a very extensive wish list on Amazon of books and other fandom related stuff that I want on there, half for my own future referrence, half because my birthday is coming up and it is the cheapest way for my parents to buy me books.

As Amazon Pride free delivery is not available in Ireland I use Kennys.ie. They have a slow search engine :( But their prices are reasonable, the sell second hand copies as well as new and have FREE WORLDWIDE shipping (great for sending Christmas pressies to Australia). Book depository is my second favourite as the have some good prices and free shipping too. Real Life shops are Chapters Bookstore in Dublin. It's an independent store that can sell new current release Hardbacks and Mass Paperbacks for as little as five Euros and that also has a secondhand section upstairs. Also Bookstation shops - which is a chain in Ireland (is it in the Uk too?) that sells every book it has including new releases at discounted prices. However their selection is a bit small, so you have to go on a regular basis. Especially if you want to get a new release before it sells out.

I usually buy my books from Norli and Ark, two Norwegian bookstores, but I also order books from Amazon and Bookdepository :)

I usually buy from Chapters(Coles/Indigo. All of them are the same company under different names) here in Canada. With that being said I do tend to buy most of my books from this retailer on their online store. Their online prices are much much cheaper than their in-store prices. I also sometimes buy form Costco, Walmart or Target, although they obviously have a smaller selection of books.

I'm from Singapore, an independent island-city-state-country and we have a local bookstore company called Popular that can be found islandwide they are like our version of Barnes & Noble in the US. Most of the books are in U.K. editions cause we do learn the uk English language. Other than Popular, we have another islandwide bookstore called Kinokuniya but I'm not sure if this one is local. Kinokuniya has the more outdated books so if you are late to jump on the bandwagon, I recommend you go there. We have a number of independent bookstore closer to the central district but I don't go there too often :)

I live in New York (Long Island, its right of the City) so it's mostly book chains unless I go to NYC but I pay to be a Barnes and Nobles Member so I do get free shipping and price reductions too. If I don't go to/order from Barnes and Nobles then it's when I'm just out at Walmart, Costco, Target etc

Your in Newbury! Not too far away in Southampton!

I'm from Sweden but all books are much more expensive here than it is in the UK for example and if you want to get your hands on a newly released book, you have to wait for WEEKS! I used to buy books from swedish companies but now I buy almost all of my books from the bookdepository since they have free world wide shipping and are cheap + have a great selection! ^^ (even though it takes some more time to get to me >.>) New releases always get to me on the day or some day after when I pre-order from there and it's just so lovely since I'm not used to such luxury!

I live in Texas I shop at our barnes and nobles which is pretty close i also shop at a used one but sadly we don't have very many book shops

In Ireland we only have one big book store really, it's called Easons, and it's a chain store so they're literally everywhere. I love buying my books there but they don't always have books that aren't very popular so when they don't have the books I want I use Amazon

I live in Australia I usually shop at two independent bookstores near my house called the avenue and books in print. I used to always shop at borders but then they closed down

In Australia, at least where I am, there are only a few bookstores you can go to that aren't online, and they always take weeks to get books in. The ones that I know by name are QBD the bookshop and Dymocks :-)

I live in the state of Missouri and I buy a lot of my books from Ebay, Amazon, Walmart (if the deal is good), or sometimes at my sister's book fairs at school. When I buy from Ebay I look for the best condition and the cheapest prices. The only thing about Walmart is when I wanna buy the first book in a series, it's not there. Only the second or third is there.

The YA section in the waterstones in my town is half the size of that :( you're lucky!

I'm from France, so we have a regulation concerning the price of french books, it's the same price everywhere and it's determine by the publisher. Plus, you can order any book they don't have in stock in every bookshop here ! :) So we really have no need for Amazon or other online bookstore I think (unless you live in a ghost town). I'm pretty invest in the small communities and I like the proximity of the shops. My city is also lucky enough to have a two great english bookstores where I can buy or order my english books ! It's a little bit more pricy than amazon, but not that much, and a I say I like to know that the place I give money to pays their taxes and are more than a faceless factory. I like to talk litterature or anything with my local booksellers, they are amazing ! :)

I wanted to ask if Amazon reduced prices r only for prime members?

I went to Edinburgh during the summer and I was taken to this shop called 'The Works' I loved it. They had box set for really cheap prices such as the 'A song of Ice and Fire' and 'The Maze Runner'. Some of the books that they sold aren't new releases, but they had really great deals. Its only in the UK I believe and they only ship to the UK too which is upsetting :(

I am from Canada. I am fortunate to work in a bookstore [looks space aged, as you so aptly put it] that has a fair sized collection of all genres (our shelves are always quite full) but situations will occur where we do not get a book on the first day of release or maybe even never (case in point i am still waiting for the new covers of the Percy Jackson series but they are still sending us old box sets :/ ). Point is its supply and demand. At the moment, Our system bases what a store receives on what orders for that particular book/ author are and what is popular right now (based on the Globe and Mail and NYT best seller lists.) Now I don't know how every book retailer works it. but possibly you local Waterstones(?) could be in a situation where there is not the demand for those YA titles and do not stock them for this reason. I'm rambling. I shop at work. I get books at the price we (as a company) buy them at which is generally a 30% off the cover price. Its Fantastic :D

Hi I was wondering which foyles you go to in London ?

I live in America, and I usually buy books from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Target. I've bought a couple of books from the Book Depository though.

I live in Spain and I buy 99% of my books from the Book Depository because I read mostly in english and they're cheaper than in bookstores. Fyi, books here are extremely expensive.

That "tiny" ya section that you talked about is probably double the size of the ya section in my local bookstore....

I live in Romania and I like to shop at the biggest chain bookstore we have, Carturesti, because it's realy difficult to find any YA in the smaller bookstores. However it's nearly impossible to get my hands on any new releases, so I tend to buy a lot of ebooks, because that's the only way to actually read anything new without having to wait nearly a whole year.

I use the Book Depository because Amazon is so expensive to ship to Australia. The only bookstores I've been to are Dymocks and QBD which are both very small...

I buy books from Amazon, but through my Uncle who lives on the States, or I buy spanish book in everystore in my city, If I want a book in english this store might have small sections, or there is a small bookstore called Booksmart, that it might be a small locale, but they are greatly stock, and you can order a tittle and received it in a week or so. Yes I'm from Mexico, across the sea.

great video have you tried the works website? i always find them really cheap

In the waterstones in my city, there is no YA section, the YA is in the children's section so I have to search through those just to find one book I want.

In Slovenia (only 2m people) there are only two bookstores that have a small YA section. It's sad.

I live in switzerland, where books are generally VERY expensive. I have only one bookstore in my city where they have English books, and it's like my second home. it's okay, but they don't have that many books. I travel to Canada every summer though since I have family there. I always really enjoy going to these gigantic (for me) bookstores and buying so many books because they're just a lot cheaper than in switzerland...

I'm Irish and I usually use The Book Depository to get books as most of the bookshops near where I live are so expensive!!! Some of the paperbacks in these shops could be as expensive as a hardback on The Book Depository!

I love Waterstones, but find them quite expensive. I don't often buy books in WHSmith anymore, I did when I worked there. I use amazon and charity shops, and the ASDA (mostly because I work there now). I sometimes use the book depository.

I buy my french book at Fnac (but same as waterstone, they don't have the first book in series, and it's kind of messy) and Cultura which have a good fantasy and YA area. but for my english books, I order them on amazon, or book depository (because, they are quite expensive and really rare at Fnac). Next time I'll go to London, I'll make sure to go to foyles ! (and I'm sure my luggage will overweight for back flight ;) )

Hi! i'm Indonesian and i buy books from Periplus.com,they have imported books,it's a bit of expensive but compared to other bookshop that has imported books this one is quite cheap

Which Foyles in London is your favourite?

I live in Norway and books are as everything else ridiculously expensive, so I usually buy my books online at CDON.com and the bookdepository. Since i prefer reading in english it is harder to find books in stores but, now i live in one of the larger citys and i have access to Ark(a norwegian bookstore) in which they actually have quite a few books in english.

Does Foyles ship internationally i live in Macedonia and its pretty hard to buy books :S

Greetings from Mexico! I buy digital books from Amazon. Read them on my iPad.

I totally agree! I love Waterstones with all my heart but I get the same problems and sometimes even the website doesn't stock some books like 13 reasons why and I adore the Foyles in Westfield. It's so cosy and stocks loads of off the radar books too.

can i buy books from ebay by cash on delivery(cod)

I mostly order them on bol.com because the bookstore in my city has like 1 shelf with ya books.

I feel really bad not buying books from physical bookstores as I love them so much and am devastated to see them suffering due to sites like Amazon :( I also prefer Waterstones to Foyles as Waterstones always do "Buy one, get one half price" offers and I find the Foyles in London super intimidating! Maybe it just takes time to get used to...

My local bookstore doesn't have english books, så I buy mine on Amazon UK. Books in Denmark are really expensive, so even with shipping i save a lot of money! I've just recently started using Amazon UK, and I just can't stop buying books! :D

I'm from Perth Australia. I usually get books from Dymocks, or second hand book shops. Otherwise, I get them from Book depository, Amazon's shipping fees to Australia are crazy.

I loooove amazon too...I literally bought the PJO series for 20 like twenty bucks...x"D....and I buy like almost all my books there. Actually all of them except one or two.

I live in the US and I mainly buy my books from Barnes & Noble, Half Price Books and Target.

I'm from Quebec so I have to buy all my books on amazon because we don't really have english bookstore (there's like one shelf by bookstore)

@AdrianaLovesBooks try Bookoutlet it's cheaper :) They don't have everything though

I agree that Foyles is an amazing book shop in London but unfortunately, as a researches of a very specific area, they just don't have much of the material I need so its a bit of a let down... i do however raid amazon every week

I'm from Australia and I get most of my books from BookDepository as it's pretty much the cheapest store out there on the internet - books on amazon can be cheaper but once you factor in their crazy postage it's not worth it. For physical stores I buy from Dymocks (usually when they have a sale or if the author is Australian) or the Book Grocer (a discount book seller) where books are $10 each or 6 for $50. Also stores like Big W are good for some popular mainstream titles (and they are often cheaper than BookDepository!). I'll also occasionally order from Angus&Robertson's online store if they have a sale or I want the title ASAP. And to all my fellow book lovers do not discredit going to a good secondhand bookstore or charity shop as you'll often find hard to get titles or sometimes books in very good-like new condition for a fraction of the cover price. Over the course of a few months I managed to the whole Millennium trilogy (Stieg Larsson) in like new condition for $6!

I'm from Paris and I usually buy my books at Gibert Joseph library It's like an half slash new books kind of bookstore It's amazing! But I also order on Amazon and The Book Depository because I think It's great :)

I always enjoy buying books from Barnes and Noble and even Walmart sometimes.

I like WHSmith because they always do some great deal but the downside with them and Waterstones is that they charge you full price so I only ever end up buying something from them if I can't be bothered to wait for an online delivery. But I do prefer Amazon because as you said they are very cheap and I sometimes like using the book people when they have their deals on!

I live in America and I buy my books from Barnes & Noble, Bookoutlet, and the Book Depository. It all depends on where I can get the cheapest price for a book.

well i live in the middle east but more specific i live in United Arab Emirates and my favorite book shop is called kinokuniya

I live in Tennessee in America and we have a books a million and a barnes and noble and books a million is my second home lol. They have such good bargain priced books and pretty well priced regular books as well. And their YA section is pretty large as well but they usually never have the first in a series and that pisses me off

I'm from Estonia,probably no ones gonna know where it is bc it's so small but anyways I buy book mainly from Rahvaraamat in Viru Keskus bc there is THE BIGGEST FANTASY/CONTEMPORARY/YA section EVAR and in our country prices buying English books are much cheaper than the ones that are translated and I prefer English books more than my native language ones plus the English ones are 10 Euros in our currency which is cheap and the ones that are translated from English to our native language can get a bit pricey like 20 euros which is quite a lot for a paperback.So I usually buy English paperbacks due that I just prefer to read in English and they're cheaper

The only big book store in Canada is indigo/chapters and the books are usually expensive. 😔

I use Amazon a lot, but I much prefer the local used bookstores in my area.

In the us there is mainly Barnes and nobles and books a million. Both great! I really don't remember the name of my book store near me but it's pretty good too! Except I hate how bookstores think percy Jackson and harry potter is just children's books. 😠 I'm older and I love those series! There an every age book. But I also use amazon a lot and I listen to audible books too! I'm re listening to heroes of Olympus before the blood of Olympus comes out!

I live in Australia and usually buy my books from the book depository, if I'm looking for something specific. Otherwise I get some books from Dymocks if I can find a good deal (very rare) and sometimes I get them from Target/K-mart/Big W because even though their range is TINY, their prices can be pretty good.

I'm visiting London next Spring and I'm going to be very cranky if they don't let me roam around to get books.

What is Amazon prime?

I use Amazon when I want to buy a book online. It's true that if you search among different sellers you might be able to find cheaper stuff but when it comes to paying for shipping, I find the cost to be too high. For example, I was able to find a book that wasn't available in the bookstores anymore, for 5 euros which is great. But I had to pay extra (6 euros to be precise) for shipping. Sorry for my awful english by the way, I just had to tell someone about how much those high shipping prices annoy me...

I used to have a few Barnes and Nobles and Borders near me, but now all I have is one used bookstore. I'm moving as soon as I turn 18 XD

I live in Norway, but i prefer reading in English, the main problem is, books are quite expensive. So I usually buy lots of books a couple of times a year through the book depository or other websites like CDON.com, or when I'm out traveling. But if I go to a stor,e I usually go to a stor called Ark, because they are the best when it comes to English books but I often have to wait a couple of weeks, or sometimes even months to get newly released books in the stores. I also check out Fretex, which is a store where ou can buy used books for a cheap price Mostly. I check out our own personal library (everyone reads in my family) before buying a new book, but it's mostly norwegian classics or books on war history.

I live in Finland and when I buy books from the internet I usually use site called Cdon.com. Sadly I cant find every book from there. And it's a shame because I like to read in English especially cause not every book get an Finnish translation. So sometimes it's hard to find some books.... And I also buy books from different bookstores.

hi I'm from Ontario canada, lots of bookstores here :) Like chapters ( has a starbucks :), can sit for hours with a book) and Coles. I personally like small time bookstores that have books stacked from floor to ceiling, there is a good one in Guelph ontario canada called Sunrise Books

I ALWAYS use the bookstores Ark and Norli. They are two amazing Norwegian bookstores, they always make me bye a book even if I'm not supposed to just because the layout in the stores and the way they represent the books is also amazing. Norli always have "the stores recommendations" in the store and sometimes the online price is cheaper than the one in the store. Here you can also make your own wishlist. On Ark they have sale on almost every book online. This can you not find in the store. This are the links too the book stores so that you can check out their online sides. They are on Norwegian but you will understand how you use it. Ark: www.ark.no/ark/ Norli: www.norli.no/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/no/norli

I'm from the netherlands, so I usually order my books online, seeing as most bookstores stock no english or a very limited amount. I usually use bol.com which get's you the new books on release day and shipping generally doesn't take too long. if I order books that have been out longer, I mostly use bookdepository, because free shipping and cheap books. I mean come on xD there are 2 english bookstores in Holland that I love dearly. one is the Waterstones, which usually does have books stocked pretty well ( I got Heir of Fire 2 days before release there :D) so maybe overseas waterstones are just awesome? idk xD but the American bookstore is my absolute favorite. they not only have a pretty big YA collection (and are cheaper then waterstones most of the time) but also a pretty massive Manga collection :D:D YAY! so yeah.. that's pretty much where I buy mah books :)

I mostly use either Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Thank you for this viddddd. yay!

I live in Israel so I order books online or buy in local book stores:)

I live in south america and i mostly buy my books in amazon because our bookstores dont have new releases or books in english ( i love ariana grande❤️)

I’m from America and I mostly buy my books from McKay’s and Barnes and noble. McKay’s is like a cheap book store for used books and then Barnes and noble has the regular price for books.

I'm from Finland! And just recently the book store where I've gotten all my books reduced its selection to like nonexistent..and the (basically only) other bookstore doesn't really have any of the books that I want to read. Also I can't find them in the libraries.. really annoying. I probably have to order all of them online then. Going to use Amazon uk maybe (though it would be nice if they could tell you the exact shipping+additional prices already when going to the basket because I'd like to know them in advance.. but still, I guess amazon is one of the cheapest. Another from where I might consider buying is Adlibris.com. I like your videos btw! :)
