I personally like the aged look of my used library books.

Bought my first a few months ago (mostly mil fic like dale brown, clancy etc)...still ever so slowly getting thru it. Some of these are over 20 years old but surprisingly in decent condition. After auction and shipping probably was about 75 cents a book or so. Of course…there are also nearly wholesale lots of books organized by genre you can get off ebay…

I didn't realize libraries were doing the ebook stuff, that's pretty sweet cause I am lazy.
