A comment on another thread, got me wondering about peoples attitudes to the books they read, with regards where they get them etc.

On the most part, i tend to get my books from second hand shops, i will occasionally buy new, but unless there is something i am waiting for i buy second hand. If i went to buy new i wouldnt be able to decide because of the cost, but second hand at about £1.50 ish, it doesnt matter too much if the book is shite. I used to keep all my books, but then got rid, now i tend to give them to charity shops or pass them on to friends.

Just wondered about everyone else?

I usually get second hand books too unless there's something new out that I really want. Covers from 50's/60's so much nicer than modern ones.

I can't get rid of them - even the really rubbish ones. It is a problem. How did you do it?
