also remember the library has these books to lend. Do not buy until you look them over at the library. Then go to ebay. Of course if they are on sale for .50 each at a book sale you have to buy. Remember to take them out before you decide it is a have to have book, and buy it new. /my library has many such books and it was a great (free)education

Our local library book sale has an ingenous method of pricing their books -- they don't.  They have the book sales during big town events and once you pick out all your books and are ready to leave you pass by a table with a couple of volunteers and you give them what you think the books are worth.  Its interesting to watch the social pressure -- I've seen people pay over cover price for 10 year old books :-)
