You may not get them the week they’re released but I see lots of “new” (within the past few months) releases at used book stores. Some of them do sell new as well. Depends on your shop I guess. Anyway, just a suggestion…sometimes I try my best and still end up having to use Amazon :/

Maybe rethink buying new books and look for used at local book stores? I know not always ideal, and some don’t have inventory searchable online, but when it works, it’s a great way to support local
