It is better for the environment and with my limited budget I prefer to be able to buy more different books. If you buy books from a website, most of the time you can see what state the books are in. I never came across a book I bought that way that was in a horrible state. Maybe I am just lucky ;) I also try to pass on the books that I bought again through bookcrossing, trades or giveaways :)Uniflamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181945318301274101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-53227797460966007802011-02-24T10:49:22.111-05:002011-02-24T10:49:22.111-05:00I am not to picky about my books, I buy books wher...I am not to picky about my books, I buy books wherever they are sold, that is if they interest me.
