Today’s pickups, I nearly shat myself in the aisle when I saw Land’s Fanged Noumena on the shelf for $12.50. Love him or hate him, that is an insane price that I could otherwise flip and pay for the rest of the haul several times over, and Land’s contributions to cyberpunkism as a legitimate branch of posthumanism are worth celebrating by anyone, even if you disagree with the author.
Other than that, a whole bunch of Weird Nonfic to keep me busy for the next few weeks.
~$87 for the whole lot, nearly half of that being Bord’s Alien Animals for $30 - higher than the lowest online prices, but in very good condition. Everything else picture but not named was between $5-7 each.

You people can afford buying books. I have ~20 books from my 19 years of existence.
But I’ll probably be able to afford more books when I’m permanently employed, but will probably never have time to read them until retirement (if thaf hypothetically ever happens).
I don’t know your situation, but I only buy thrifted books, and I’ve never spent more than like £15 for a book and that’s usually the art books only, you can get real good stuff for less than a fiver.
I often go to what are called little libraries. They’re just small book cases outside that are freely accessible to anyone. You can borrow books, sometimes keep the books and donate books. There a lot of bad books in them, but also a lot of wonderful titles to be found. You can find more info, including a map with locations, here.
