Do you prefer new books or used books? (self.literature)

When you’re getting books do you prefer to get new ones or secondhand ones?

I really enjoy the “hunt” for used editions of books that I want, and browsing through stacks in used bookstores is fun and neat way to discover books that I might not ever run across otherwise! But I’m kind of picky about the condition of books I buy, so sometimes I just go the easy route and pick up a new copy. Or if it’s a book I don’t want to wait to read I’ll snag a new one!

One of my local used book stores trades books for store credit, so I take books I don’t want anymore to them so I can buy more books! Helps with the affordability aspect for sure!
