Simple enough question.
By this I mean buying them from bookshops and whatnot, places where they charge the full price for them.
I used to buy a lot of my books from Waterstones, but at ?8.99 a paperback and over a tenner for a hardback, I've had to switch to looking in charity shops for books. I can usually pick up a paperback for no more than ?2.00-?2.50 from charity shops, no more than ?3.50 for a hardback.
I only ever buy books I really want and know will be a good read from Waterstones now, I simply can't afford to buy any book that takes my fancy.
I've heard bookshops aren't doing too well lately and quite a few have been closing down, but with the prices they charge, are they asking for it?
