better sell before the new edition comes out and all mystique for it disappears. first edition collecting is a waste of time.
ask this question on /p/ . photography books regularly run past the $120 mark

Infinite Jest. I bought it years ago and always give up after a few pages. The style is just unbearable.
William Peterson
Fucking read the book or give it to someone who will. It's great. Also, I have a hardco) first edition GR, but I didn't buy it and I've read it twice in paperback, not sure if that counts.
Camden Brooks
The problem is i've been meaning to read it for ages and never came around to it .
Christian Perez
Just dive in, it's worth it.

There's a book of essays that I needed for my undergraduate dissertation that I couldn't find available anyway, so I bought it. It was £45. It's 200 pages, at best and in the end I think I ended up reading 3 of the essays.

Not if it's going to increase on value with time. I have books worth three times as much as I paid for them.

I can list a picture of my arse on ebay for 5000000 if i want, doesnt mean anyone is willing to pay it.

Copy of War and Peace is sitting on my shelf and it was like 6 dollars hardcover from a used bookstore.
I own a lot of nice hardcovers and never pay more than like, 5 dollars for most of them. Sometimes 10. Why do people not just go to used bookstores? Even the most expensive ones I've been to have quality hardcovers in great condition for 15 dollars or less.
Zachary Foster
how much did you pay?

God fucking dammit! I have that copy of the Hobbit but disposed of the dust jacket because it had a little tear. Every time I see how much it's worth I get incredibly angry.

Those links reaffirm the bullshit status of the hobbit sleeve posted
the point i was making is dont trust ebay to gauge value, anyone can list anything at any price.
Jacob Myers
The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra.
$200 for Christ's sake
Connor Cruz
The point you seem to have missed entirely is that, regardless of whether they sell for 55k or just 30k they're still worth having.

I have a dedicated home library but have b&N classics in living room for decoration. Shitty I know but they look gorgeous for the price
Nathaniel Turner
$500
Angel Fisher
Spent $175 on this.
Jaxon Jones
w&m is honestly worth the $150, i've been reading it on and off for about 8 months now. It's fucking massive.
Christian Torres
I paid 80 euros for this baby. I will read it soon, though. Loved the first two.

I bought an eReader, and now I just pirate all my books. I mainly read classics, so it's not like I'm even screwing the content creator when I pirate their book. Also it's very light, which makes it easier to read in bed.

Is that a lunch box?
