yeah, i hear you. i'm not anti-buying-- just anti-buying-as-default. i bought so much back in the day i'm stuck with oodles of cartons of books i need to offload. sometimes i trade them at the used book guy but he's HOURS away from my boondocks. so i'm like a reformed smoker with the knee-jerk purchases. i've learned my lesson.

anyway i just had an old book from the library that i had to renew & renew. i was going to buy it but then found something more complete and updated. which is this:

 


paperback is $15 (plus shipping). but the kindle edition? that's just $3. yes $3. three U.S. dollars ha ha ha. sweet sweet buy and it's a reference that i'll be consulting often. so i did. pay $3.

AH, LITERATURE!!
