Finally a man of culture on this board. I shoplift all my books from an english place called Waterstones but all their copies are fucking penguin and im beginning to buy more second hand. But some good theft is based asf and entirely justifiable (if your stealing from a chain) beta boys on this board just dont have the small amount of courage it takes and would rather complain on 4chan about book prices. True patrician.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jun 14 08:17:42 2019 No.13296330 I buy 95% of my books used, just use one of those book price comparison sites and go from there. Once you get familiar with the vendors it's easy to buy books that are nearly new for next to nothing.
