What's the highest amount of money you've spent on an Eddings book?
I usually buy my books used and get them for 25 cents or a dollar, but just yesterday I was in a neat little bookstore... but I was tricked into buying the 3rd volume of the Elenium for $10. Okay, okay, I wasn't really tricked into it. The lady who owned the store suddenly said that she was closing and I'd better give her the money and get out. eek So I just bought all the books I had in my hand and didn't really get a chance to decide if they were worth the prices or not. Oh well... at least I have that one now. smile

Most I've spent was $15 at a local used bookstore, but it was a hardback, first edition, British copy of The Diamond Throne. I had to borrow money from my mom to buy it since it wasn't something I expected to find in my area.

We have books here as low as 50 pesos (equivalent to 1 dollar) in many second-hand stores. Almost all are in good condition.
The most i've spent was equivalent to $ 8.50 gonk
The damn originals in the real bookstores are really a pain lol

Why buy them new at the big brand bookstore when you can find it elsewhere for so much cheaper? Granted, I do buy books I'm really, really anxious about at Barnes and Noble and stuff, but that's a slight exception.

My stepbrother gave me the first book in the Belgariad one christmas and told me it was one of his favorites way back when. But I was a bit too young to enjoy it so it sat on a shelf for about a year before I picked it up again and read it.
I was so enchanted by it that I forgot that I lied to him about reading it a year before and went on and on about how much I loved it to him. At which point he just got up and went into his room, only to come out a moment later with a stack of about fourteen more books for me to read. ^^ After that he just bought me a new book every gift giving occasion. Lucky that I'm not enjoying the Dreamers series as much as the older ones or else I would be very impatient lol!

It was like that for me, only in my case it was my mom who gave me the book to shut me up, and I was hooked and started buying them myself whenever I could.

Books here are expencive. ^^;;
But I've been working in a bookstore ever since I was 16, so I've gotten my hands on some pretty sweet deals.
I bought all of the hardback editions of "The Belgariad" for about $1,50 each [in my native tounge].
Then I had to buy the paperbacks in English, cause you just can't fully appreciate the writings of Eddings unless they're in English. xD
They were bought for about $10 each I think.
Price is included percentages. :/
So like regularly it would come to $20 per book or so. o_O;;
^^;; Told you.

Seira_Phim It was like that for me, only in my case it was my mom who gave me the book to shut me up, and I was hooked and started buying them myself whenever I could. Same for me! My mom was sick of me complaining that I had nothing to read. She brought me a whole stack of books and told me to stop complaining. The elenium looked the most intresting.

$10 a book. So the whole Bel/Mal series was $100. And the dreamers were about $30 each because I got them in hardback right when they came out. And the El/Tam was another $60 put together. Someone gave me the RoA.

$16 each for both volume 1 and 2 of the Belgariad. I find it easier to buy two big books rather than lots of little ones. Next up, the Mallorean!

13 months ago My cousin forced me to read the Belgariad. I did be casue he said it was good and I love him... and then i rread them... couldn't out them down and he took them BACK!!!!
so august, he comes over with 5 books, sets them on the table and says, "Malloreon. Read!" so i read. Now I'm done! That means he can take them back again! NOOOO
But anyway. With my birthday money (October 26th by the way) I now Have the entire Belgariad for $6.99 a book and the Belgarath and Polgara books. All full price.
Just came into a bit more green so i'm be off to get Malloreon the day he takes them back... he still needs to give me back my Full collection of Nightmare on elstreet. That and my 5th harry potter book! WTF MAN!!!
