you and me both bro 😔 it looks like u buy books new seeing how neat their spines look, I’d suggest looking at ebay or your local thrift/antique stores! I get most of my books for 1-2 dollars, sometimes even ¢50 for paperbacks, its rlly time consuming looking for what u want in person but its kinda fun too. I’ve even found some rare antique books going for $50+ online that I bought for under $10 :)
Yeah it depends fs, some of the books I’ll buy are newer academic books that I’ll have to buy new since there aren’t enough in print for me to find a deal for old ones online. I actually did just buy a vintage set of Harvard classics from eBay though, pretty good deal for $35, should come in by the end of the week
