OEDear ...

I accidentally attended a book sale today, but was very restrained and only purchased language books that I actually need for my appalling French and Italian, and a couple of history tomes, which are [Poll #1580212]And lil, thank you for your comment! I had to delete and start again because the poll was not working for me, hope it does this time!

I'm a bit old-fashioned. I don't like CD-ROMs. Nothing will ever replace for me the pleasure of browsing through the pages of a book. No hard disk crashing, no windows freezing.. Just plain old paper and leather... Yummy. :)

Still, I hadn't looked properly at the price it was sold for, which is indeed insane. You can buy it new for much less than that on Amazon for instance.

And it looks like at first view that the shipping costs aren't that outrageous either.
