Used bookstores . If you frequent a particular used bookstore you can sometimes ask them to put a hold on books by a certain author for you. Your local and college libraries . If they don't have a book ask them about inter-library loans. Obviously, you can't keep these books but you can still get a chance to read them.
Some libraries even have video and album loans.
