Used Books vs New Books

I have a love of used books. The smell, the texture and the emotions being evoked from holding those used books. I just love dear old, used books that have been thumbed, maybe highlighted and a bit of frayed edges. They have cool covers that have the art that isn’t seen today anymore. It doesn’t matter if it’s paperbacks or hard covers, they rock. I love browsing used books in a used book store, just looking at books that would bring me curiosity or something intriguing behind those pages. Also, the reason why we should stick to used books is because they’re environment friendly and doesn’t kill any more trees. We should take it as a grain of usefulness to protect our trees yet support the used book stores by frequenting them. However, ever since Internet has taken over the world, used online book stores are also nifty. I like either Abe Books or Half.com for really good deals. Growing up, I love just checking out thousands of books on shelves, everything from romance to horror to nonfiction. I just go there every week and buy a pile of books with my own allowance. I just love entering used book stores. It enthralls me. It brings so much memories. I’ll always be a hardcore used book worm, even when there’re Kindle and iPhone apps that brings e-books to your fingertips.
