Nancy,
I never buy new books except as gifts--(ones I've
learned about from validating, like What Einstein Told
His Cook) and now, since I'm trying not to accumulate
any more books in case my husband actually decides to
retire and we move (Hah! I should live so long) I try
not to buy used books either (working in our Friends
used book store I've occasionally given in to
temptation, though.) I get all my books from my
library.
