I managed to get the Endymion omnibus for a whopping 1 pence off amazon, plus £2.80 postage and packing. And considering the thing is like a slab of concrete, that was incredibly cheap.
There is nothing wrong with buying from big named book stores. There are quite a few books/authors that I only buy from Barnes and Noble. But for some books I feel the need for them to smell just right and to have already been properly well loved.
For instance, there are four or five series/sagas/whatever that I only buy form B&N because I need the as soon as they are out in paperback because I follow those particular series very closely. (Cal Leandros/Mercy Thompson/Nightside/Kyle Swanson novels being examples) But other books that I have been out for a while and I am just getting into, I prefer and enjoy the hunt for. (Hyperion/GoT/Secret Histories/Dresden Files/Odd Thomas/Sandman Slim/ other books that I have owned and want again) I love the hunt for books in an old book shop. Book shops smell just right.

I am currently reading Wicked. Just started it.
