too many burgerbucks

Not a single crease in the spines. Well memed, sir.

you'll remove that ugly shakes cover right?

Still been stocking up on children's books. The Fire Cat was the first book I could read on my own.

WHERE IS EVERYONE GETTING THESE BOOK DEALS? CAN YOU HELP ME FIND SOME FUCKIN BOOK DEALS 4CHAM?

I picked up a 2nd edition Norton shakes for 4 bucks today. Feels good man.

ThriftBooks, user.

Perpetual library sales. Also there are two or three good book stores in the area.

Nice dude. my edition was 65

That's pretty good. I saw that one new for 100 a few months ago, but that was at a fastfood bookstore. Jack up all the prices.

why do you guys buy so many books at a time? please tell me you read them all

4 books a month

Why do you retards always ask this dumb shit. If they were posting books they got at the library you could actually ask this.

For me the immediacy of having I used book store so close by and close enough to some of the nation's top private colleges in humanities that I'm tempted to look at least once a week.

I've only read roughly 20 percent of my library.

Mine's the children's pile, most of which I'd already read before. Most of the books I buy these days are things I've already read and no want to own.

Yeah that's the listed price on it, so I got a decent deal.

Because we're capable of planning for the future like an adult.

Haven't arrived yet but I've bought:

The Decameron
The Bhagavad Gita
The Anglo-Saxon World- An Anthology

Not a stack but...
here

I'm a little worried about the "acceptable" tag for condition.
I hope there isn't to many stains or torn pages.

Seeing as it's an ex-library book, probably some stains and dog-ears or something. I would hope no writing. But definitely the stamps and lamination/stickers.

Sometimes I stop at dog-ears and think about what the previous reader was thinking about.

I'm bout ta snag yer Francis Bacon book boooi.

yeaaaaaaa boiiiiiiiiii

Nice user, where did you find it?

Notes from the underground

AbeBooks. Paid $60 for a fine 1/1 instead of $50 for a Penguin reprint in Amazon.

Keep trying to fit in, newfag

Did you order from them before?
I ordered a few textbooks last week and am a little worried about their condition. Some were marked as "Like New" but recent feedback about the store worries me

That place is strictly for the homeless, the goth/emo/creep fuckers who deserve to die, and people who want to look up porn.

Not the person you replied to, but I prefer Dalkey's and Penguin's covers of Gaddis to Knopf's. Is the binding at least sturdy?

I'll probably acquire one of these editions as some point as a filthy consumer just because I love this book and this cover looks so iconic. Probably the only novel I would bother to get a second more expensive copy than the one I have.

Although the Dalkey cover looks fucking impenetrable to normies which is kind of funny.

I got mine for 4 dollars at a used book store. Only age has made the edges sallow. Not a mark on it save, for "L. Kash" 12/75

Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum!

You think you're better than me?

Good call with wood's book on Marx. He's the shit. And a super nice man.

Binding is sturdy and very tight. I'm almost certain this copy has never been read.
I love the 1st Ed cover and I'd be lying if I said it didn't influence my decision. The main reason I went with it though was the price difference between it and Penguin/Dalkey was only $10.
I checked all of the used book stores in my area before ordering. Had no luck.

Is there a work similar to Wood's Marx but on Hitler?

>I checked all of the used book stores in my area before ordering.
I just had an extreme amount of luck. In my area there are two great bookstores, i got a hardcover aFoHO for 10, same edition of JR you got for 4, mint CG for 4. Sadly had to buy the Dalkey Recognitions for full price.

I also found a 1st Ed. Frolic for $10 when I was looking. That was the only Gaddis I came across though.

fuck off. jesus christ dude.

Basic.

What did I do?

I'm not sure if your point is "Marx is as bad as Hitler!" or if you have no point, but either way you are an idiot.

I'm looking for a good book on Hitler and I liked Wood's biographical style. Is it a crime to read about Hitler?

You haven't read wood. He is a philosopher, not a biographer.

I read wood every morning. By Wood's biographical style I mean a book that explains Hitler's philosophy, because I am interested in the thoughts of Hitler but I don't care so much about other biographical aspects or demonization.

you aren't very good at trolling dude. ya just look like an idiot.

I'm not trolling, you are. I want a good book on Hitler than is similar to Wood's Karl Marx.

you are trolling, you haven't read wood, and there is no such thing, as you know, for hitler was not a philosopher or interesting thinker.

Last batch I bought in November, have finished all except Miles's biography.

I read wood and you are obviously brainwashed into thinking Hitler wasn't a wise thinker and had great original ideas.

Watch this:
youtube.com/watch?v=KnSHToaGRF8

Both Karl Marx and Hitler are good people.

go back to your containment board.

Point me to the containment board for individualist anarchists. Wait... this is the board for that. You can like people from different ideologies you know?

/pol/ is prbly the right place for wee little edgelords. i think it might be 18+ though.

Stop being a faggot.

Not recent but I think it's the best I've got in my collection.

Nothing edgy about liking people, is there? I don't demonize ideologies for certain fanatics that share them and I don't demonize those fanatics but I don't condone actions. Do you hate "bad" people? I hate bad actions, which are easier to understand and condemn than an entire complex multiorganism that is influenced by its also complex genetics and complex environment.

I guess at least you got good Homer trannys.

It's about the author's writing style, not about similarity of subject

stop.

No bully pls

Summer meme stack. About $40 for all of 'em. Right are books I've already started, left is what's next.

>fancy hardcover edition of the communist manifesto
bourgeoisie scum, proles like I only read unformatted .txts

I got A Streetcar Named Desire for 79 cents today.

I got a Streetcar Named desire for 0 cents today. I asked my mom if I could keep her copy of the book so I can one-up some anonymous on a website, and she said yes.

Wow I just looked at the dalkey cover for jr and it has a typo (intereat- bearing instead of interest)
What a piece of shit

I absolutely adore those SF Masterworks editions. Did you enjoy the forever war? Can never decide whether to buy a copy

Cool user. Enjoy it.

Not sure why you're upset though.

Is English your second language?

One of the more interesting stacks I've seen here. Got the same VanderMeer a while ago but haven't got to it yet, and actually just picked up Dynamite last week.
