Here's what I got today from the second-hand bookshop, lads.
It's pretty much the best one in my country; though helplessly disorganized. After almost an hour of looking, and the guy who was covering for the owner not knowing where a lot of things were, I had to settle for Amazon to get my volumes of The World of Will and Representation. Also bought the Luke translation of Faust there too, mainly because I heard Kaufman abridges part II.
Pic related is the find I'm happiest with today; a 1947 edition of Joyce's works, from the Viking Portable Library. Probably not worth much, but I liked the minimalist aesthetic with ochre cover and fancy writing.
Nicholas James
Second purchase, Kaufmann's translation of Nietzsche.
I've heard good things about his German translations, so I imagine he can't do any worse than Marion Faber.
Grayson Jackson
U ain't even told us what's in it yet
Connor Thomas
Third, Ulysses itself; which wasn't included in the first book, or not completely anyway.
Blake Jones
ITT: Imbecile fetichism
Go suck a dick, you dumb materialist.
Jason Rogers

Joshua Gonzalez
Finally, this one.
Nothing special about it, I think it was published in 2003 or something. Bought it out of personal interest.

You are the embodiment of Veeky Forums a pseudo-intellectual and you think you're better than others.
Dylan Price
Recently got: Freedom-Jonathan Franzen Les Mes-Victor Hugo God Emperor of Dune-Frank Herbert The Black Prince-Iris Murdoch
Is Freedom a good place to start with Franzen or should I start with The Corrections? Also already started reading the Hugo since I'm off to France in a couple weeks soon to get myself in the mood.
Ryder Kelly
Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Exiles, Collected Poems, Other Poems & excerpts from Ulysses/Finnegans Wake.
Also an introduction from Harry Levin.
Tyler Lopez
Interesting, I've never seen that edition before.
Landon King
Nice, how is the binding? The pages look a bit weathered.
Lucas Barnes
You can have the balls if you like. The Veeky Forums intellectual are people like OP, people that makes these cover showoff threads everyday and howl about their new additions to a bookshelf.
Colton Green
The pages are actually fine, they have some sort of dark brown border to contrast with the cover.
There's a moderate/forgiveable stain on the lower left corner, that's about it. I was looking for a collection like this anyway, so I'm happy to overlook it.
It's also really musty. A quintessentially elderly smell desu.
Parker Gomez
This was by far your best purchase.
Jackson Cook
What's the point of reading/having books if we can't show off?
Jack Myers
When the movie for this was released, people actually walked out on it in my local cinema.
Good times.
Robert Myers
But you didn't?
Dylan Clark
I have that edition, you struck gold desu.
Aiden Reyes
I was there with my pleb-taste girlfriend.
She liked it, ended up crying/etc.
Isaiah Reyes
OP here.
I also found an edition of Hemmingway's complete works.
On the cover page was a large paragraph written by some American guy, addressed to the girl for whom the book was intended. He basically said it might help her understand those "crazy American macho guys", by which he probably meant himself.
Didn't end up buying it as Hemmingway's a bit shit. Wish I did now, though.

Don Quijote redeems that trash heap.
Christian Reed
And to think that it was less than a dollar for a book!
Adrian Nelson
I don't think it's trash at all. Why do you think it's trash?
Joshua Murphy
I have good taste.
Nice bargain, lad.
Jayden Jones
Most of the books are classics,how can they be bad? My teachers praised them,the librarians praised them,heck even Veeky Forums does. I agree that a few books there not timeless classics,but still,how can you call it a trash heap?

What made you purchase that user
Joseph Cox
All for under 9$ CAD. got real lucky. Check out the prices on the hemmingway and bukowski books. Go ahead.
Eli Torres
Genre pleb coming through
Justin Foster
A friend who's opinion on literature I trust recommended The Remains of the Day. When I looked up the author, Nver Let Me Go was also highly spoken of. The used book store had both today so I jumped on them.
