Comments on: WW – Why I adore second-hand books. Because of their eccentric former owners. http://miscmum.com/2007/10/24/ww-why-i-adore-second-hand-books-because-of-their-eccentric-former-owners/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:22:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: stella http://miscmum.com/2007/10/24/ww-why-i-adore-second-hand-books-because-of-their-eccentric-former-owners/#comment-2899 stella Sun, 30 Dec 2007 05:34:36 +0000 http://www.miscmum.com/2007/10/ww-why-i-adore-second-hand-books-because-of-their-eccentric-former-owners/#comment-2899 I love fetes and garage sales too - they're great spots to find treasures however I also find they're really good on a practical level. I read a lot and if I had to buy every book I read brand new it would cost a fortune. Luckily I'm able to find plenty of sales and a few good websites such as Murder and Mayhem Books on ebay. They're Australian and always seem to have really great books at bargain prices although I'm the first to admit that they can't beat a good garage sale but they're well worth it.

I'm going through some of my Mom's old books, and I am so puzzled by some of the stuff inside -- I wish I could just ask her! What a cool find.

Is it true though? Did you catch up? When buying second-hand books I always flick through to make sure there are all the pages. I remember reading one book and one page had been ripped out and it was one of the most important pages in there! I had to search for another copy, just to read that bit! :D Haha that is so nice of them. Is it true though? Did you catch up?
