Oh yes, have you started the ABC's? I've been very interested in this for a long time but I barely have time to read anything other than my uni's mandatory readings.

Buy only what you can't find online, support living artists and keep what you can for yourself.

Seriously, the public domain is a beautiful thing. Buying books like these is 100% for your e-peen rather than knowledge, otherwise you could get them at a library.

The only things you should buy are things you can't find in a library, online, or which are worth supporting financially.

I have read a bit of it and enjoy it. It contains all of Pound's elitist charms and his usual arrogant sense of humor is here in spades. It is a short read and I should be done with the first read through sometime tonight.

except you need to return books to a library, which doesn't let you constantly reread passages from the book at random, which you might want to do with works like Nietzsches if you want to understand them better

public domain =/= free
paper, ink, binding, distribution, etc, still costs money.
