Hit Goodwill for a few books, they had some new books at $10. Does anyone find that a bit steep? On another note, do you like someone reading to you? I think it would be sublime.. especially poetry.
I love listening to people reading and also reading to other people. I do this with my adopted daughter to encourage her reading habit and it has become an important part of our relationship.
Most books on coin collecting are between £10 and £20 on Amazon... so I don't think it's that expensive for brand new books - not when you factor in what it goes through to get from the author's brain to your bookcase.
The only thing I don't like is that some books on coin collecting are often out of date the minute you add them to your basket.
@LavidaRaq The most expensive romance novel I saw on page 1 of Amazon was £10.45, for a paperback. Add in Prime or postage and you're already paying more than Goodwill charged.
@LavidaRaq It's a sort of clearing house for hundreds, maybe thousands of smaller book stores and dealers. LOTS of used books, plus new ones. Just type in a book or an author and find all kinds of prices, editions, etc.
I'm old enough to remember when goodwill was true discount, books for 25 cents, shirts for 50 cents, jeans for two bucks, 15 bucks could get you a couch, 5 bucks got you a basic stereo or boom box, 7 bucks a 13inch television, dishes, pots, pans, utensils, dirt cheap, 25 cent drinking glasses, etc.
