If you have never purchased a used book, you are probably unaware of the many advantages of this practice. And the main advantage is the pleasure.There is an indescribable taste that comes from walking with the fingertips the back of an outdated edition.
The great book collectors view their purchase as an investment. In fact, if the books are well preserved of moisture, the older is the book, the bigger is it’s value.
However, anybody can buy a used book. We are not referring to the copies sold in the street , but to those old volumes that the original owners have decided to discard.
Not all books that occupy the shelves of your library have the same sentimental value, and probably you will not read them anymore so…you can sell them.If you choose to sell, give or exchange them for other books, you are also leaving room for new volumes.
These are a few reasons to buy or to sell a used book.
