I hate used books, they are nasty and probably filled with shit particles

>not a single contemporary book
get with the times gramps

>>24698838
A real nice copy with a clear protective cover too. Worth at least $30.

I was hesitant with the Satyajit Ray because it was a Penguin India edition which means it was likely owned by an Indian, and it had brownish yellow spotting along the edges which could be either curry or faeces. I gave it the smell test.

das crazy

>>24698826 (OP)
did you just buy stacks without looking at them?

>>24698871
If you can't recognize that this is a finely curated selection of the best-of-the-best, I don't know what to tell you.

Nice Krazy Kat collection

>>24698901
Yeah they had a real nice comics selection. I left a Harvey Kurtzman collection because it was massive and I was exhausted at that point. That was dumb of me. Will be grabbing if it's still there tomorrow. $2.

STEMcels I kneel. I can't into maths or physics or anything. Maybe one day.

I finally got an actual shelf a few days ago and it feels so nice to see my books stand upright for the first time. This is my first post in one of these threads so have fun checking out my collection.

MR SIR THAT IS CALL ""FOXING"" IT HAVE NO TO DO WITH PREVIOUS OWNER

Today's /stack/.
Pickings are getting slim, but I managed to grab a few gems. Missed out on the Kurtzman, and I left a really nice hardback edition of The Moon & Sixpence with colour illustrations of Gauguin because the buckram was stained and the spine was a little wobbly. Oh well.

Favourite finds:
John Waters' Shock Value
A Pictorial History of Israel

Just made a Value Village run.

Love some good Satanic panic slop.

>>24702084
Exactly. I collect them.

Bump.
Today's haul. This picture is missing a complete anthology of Garcia Marquez' short stories.
I love Bernand Shaw and having multiple editions of his plays.
The things books are plays, one of them had a receipt from 1996. The previous owner spent over 200 USD on some of these books.

Nice stack. Don't much care for Gabriel Garcia Marquez however, and Joyce is a piss-poor playwright I'm sorry to say. The Exiles should be forgotten and never mentioned again as far as I'm concerned, the one blemish on an otherwise impeccable oeuvre.

>U jelly?
No

Having a bunch of editions of the same book isn't so fun when you have to move. Books are the worst thing to move desu

>>24703557
I only buy doubles so I can sell them. If I need to move, most of this stuff is going to the used book store anyway. Bunch of fucking paper.
