When you’re getting books do you prefer to get new ones or secondhand ones?
I really enjoy the “hunt” for used editions of books that I want, and browsing through stacks in used bookstores is fun and neat way to discover books that I might not ever run across otherwise! But I’m kind of picky about the condition of books I buy, so sometimes I just go the easy route and pick up a new copy. Or if it’s a book I don’t want to wait to read I’ll snag a new one!
I personally love old books. When I buy a new book I’m afraid of tearing a page by accident, dropping it and cause it to get a dent, I feel like it has to stay clean etc etc.
Feel much more relaxed handling a secondhand book. (I’m not mistreating books I’m just clumsy!)
