If you head over to a book store, your wallet gets drained like a gas-tank in a bad neighborhood. <br/><br/>Then you have to store the books, take care of them - and how many do you actually read more than once, other than some of the classics? They will end up in yard-sales sold for 1/10th the original price, if you're lucky!<br/><br/>Cheers, Very sound advice Big Cajun Man!
