It's going from Saturday to Wednesday at the Great Hall. Dirt cheap books from every genre including a hell of a lot of rare old library books.
Tuesday and Wednesday you can get a boxfull for $10 / $5.
Any ausfags here who are going? A got a couple steals today.
Adam Flores
I'm going tomorrow for a bit. I'm mainly looking for philosophy and poetry, how did those sections look?
Kayden Evans
That looks incredible. Unfortunately I'm a Melbourne-fag so I get nothing. My University (La Trobe, laugh if you want I deserve it) has a couple of cool guys who come and sell books on Thursdays but never anything like this. I'd stack my room up to the ceiling if I had access to that place.
Juan King
Are many of the books quality or are they battered, stained and damaged copies?
Owen Russell
Don't be a poof.
Do a trade.
Charles Clark
The philosophy section got hollowed out pretty quickly. Definitely some good stuff there.
The poetry section at the back is pretty big, so you probably won't be disappointed.
Isaiah Cox
Mostly good quality but some are damaged yes.
Ethan Turner
Hey, just recently arrived in Melbourne, anywhere you'd recommend for stocking up on books? Haven't quite got the lay of the land yet
Gavin Campbell
I hate ex libris… I can't stand all these stamps and stupid students writing in books.
Leo Gray
Yeah it's hit and miss. Depends how rare the volume is.
Blake Peterson
>tfw you go to swinburne
literally a cultural dead zone
I study film and when the lecturers ask the class what everyone's favourite film is a good 2/3s of them pick a post-millenial tentpole movie and/or something Disney had its sticky fingers in
can i be redeemed friends
Jack Morris
Do well in what you're doing and then transfer. To Monash or Melbourne Uni if you can.
Dominic Myers
nah i just want to graduate with my bachelor's then go work
Luis Sanders
Well you could graduate at a better uni.
Sebastian Mitchell
…and what do you expect to do with a bachelor in movie studies?
Liam Cruz
My hands are weak and clumsy and only suited for turning pages. I honestly wish I could do one.
95% of my reading is done through pirating Epubs and reading them off of my Kobo. The other 5% is my university's library (pretty good selection even though nobody reads them but me) and what I buy cheaply from the Thursday guys.
I think my friend went there for something like a month before dropping out because it's a useless poz-hole (he may not have used those exact words, but that was the sentiment expressed).

FUCK LA TROBE AND YOUR DUCKS
Sebastian Wood
La Trobe is a shithole but the ducks are okay. I don't really mind them and I hate most things. I did almost punt one one time though. It was brazenly walking across a footpath made for use by men when I was late for class and had a headache. Little shits think they own the place.

Kayden Kelly
Looks beautiful. Also, are you in this thread Clover?
Aaron White
Top left is definitely a good read, although the edition is probably not worth too much. If you paid more than, say, 3 USD / book average you were definitely ripped off.
