>Libraries are unethical

>local bookstore has outrageous prices for new books, but great deals for used books
>go to the used section looking for a specific book and translation
>dozens of copies of shitty translations and not a single copy of the one I'm looking for
>go to the new books section
>$20 for the translation I want
>leave the store and buy it used on amazon in "very good condition"
>notes on every page
>have to deal with it because I'm too poor to afford a new 6 dollar copy
