Since I collect the books and keep the majority of them, I like my books to be in like-new condition. That can't be promised if I get a used book for free or swap the book. So I tend to still purchase most of my books, but if it comes up that I'm going to do a buddy read with somebody and I don't have the funds (or rather don't think the husband would enjoy seeing yet another Border's charge on the credit card) to buy it new, I'll request a used copy. <br /><br />Plus, I do feel like I'm helping the authors keep contracts and continue writing by buying their books. I can afford it, so that's what I prefer to do. I'm sure whenever there's a baby/kid in the house, I'll be using paperbackswap more, but for now, I prefer to buy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182023445485838169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-68875902006591112402009-04-08T10:10:00.000-07:002009-04-08T10:10:00.000-07:00Serena--I agree.

Totally unexpected. (I love Bookcrossers.)Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832420356107544084noreply@blogger.com
