Epilogue
Buying used books not only helps your money go further, but it can even enhance your reading experience. There are many new books that can’t justify their asking price. For a hardback, especially, you might find yourself shelling out $30 for what ultimately turns out to be a five-dollar plot or three-dollar characters. If you can nab that same book for a buck, you’re getting more than your money’s worth out of it! And besides, shelves full of used books give your library a certain flair. You’re not just some namby-pamby who buys his books new. No, you went hunting—spelunking, even, one could say—for those books. You’re a modern hunter-gatherer with a well-stocked collection and money in your pocket. What could be better?
