I'm super-fussy about the condition of my books, so I tend to buy new, but the new or like-new ones I've gotten from various sellers have been in beautiful shape for a fraction of the price.<br /><br />Diane ~ Was it your post I saw with the huge acquisition from the library sale? Awesome! The problem with a support group is that then we would have to stop. Maybe we could start the kind of support group where we tell each other things like, "Hey! You got a *great* deal!" and "There are worse things to spend your money on." :-)<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-72197332948942395592009-09-16T17:01:23.561-05:002009-09-16T17:01:23.561-05:00Maybe we can form a support group Lezlie, as I'...Maybe we can form a support group Lezlie, as I'm a bit out of control as well. <br /><br />I just got 35++ books at a library booksale Satuday, and today when I went out to lunch with my daughter, we stoped at a "new to me" INDIE bookstore, and I paid $15.00/full price for Ragtime; Doctorow, since several of my enabler blogger friends loved it..LOL(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-44540275576284269302009-09-16T15:03:04.872-05:002009-09-16T15:03:04.872-05:00wow how fun!!

I find him difficult to read and understand most of the time, but I love the *idea* of all he's done. Does that make sense? The great part of these kinds of book is generally the only thing actually written by him is the introduction. :-)<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-17967290461723044172009-09-16T08:40:44.081-05:002009-09-16T08:40:44.081-05:00Oooooh no!
