Where do you guys buy your books from? I remember someone talking about a site with free shipping where you can choose specifically which cover you want. Forget what it's called, though

Unless you're a fan of the artist, that's just dumb. First thing I do with hard covers is rip off the fucking dust cover and throw it in the trash

Just picked up 3 books for $11 and change from AbeBooks.

Hope you enjoy dusty fucked up books. If they weren't needed they'd print the design on the hard cover.

I'm moving to Canada soon and as a Britfag they seem to be way more expensive on amazon. Anyone able to recommend a website for Canuckstan?

At the moment I mainly buy from charity shops and amazon.co.uk, not paid more than £2.80 for a book since last year

Canadian books are notoriously overpriced, as the suggested retail prices were often calculated well before us: can $ parity and haven't been updated.

Dust jackets don't cover the pages. The pages are what's important. You probably work for Dust Covers R Us

I've seen this so many times it's starting to take on so much meaning

I want to actively seek out this post-modern cover, frame it, never read the book (sounds boring anyway) and look at it everyday

The Book Depository, cheaper than anywhere in Australia and free shipping.
