I found an old, from the 50s, edition of the Iliad all in Greek for around 2 dollars.
Where
Was it a modern greek version? It probably was
> Was it a modern greek version? It probably was
Nope
hate when my phone does that, on preview it was horizontal.
In an old used bookstore in my country, it was tucked away in the corner they keep their old Greek and Roman stuff.
They have a really nice, incomplete, collection of Plutarch's Lives
IQfy strips metadata so the real orientation of the picture is what you and we are all seeing now. When your phone's camera takes the picture, it writes in the metadata what the rotation is "supposed" to be and then the image viewer automatically rotates it to whatever it "should" be.
Best thing to do, is to always strip metadata from a copy of the image (not the original), see if you need to fix the rotation, and then upload that.
Use Kuroba, it fixes that orientation thing
50 cents at a church booksale bros
Nice find!
It was a magnificent sale tbh, I got a full set of Eddy Gibbons and a bunch of Greex. It absolutely shit on the garbage at the library sales.
WTF
uh love church now
When I was a teen, I found an encyclopedia of demons from the 1700s at a flea market, but I didn't have the cash on me to buy it, and my mom refused to loan me anything. I'm still mad about it 15 years later
Wise Mom, foolish child.
what's the gif from
Your mom probably saved the world that day.
I'm sorry
How much was it?
Not even that much. Like 30 bucks. That makes it so much worse.
That's way more than I usually pay for books, but maybe I would have done an exception for that item
Super expensive compared to other books I’ve seen and bought. I guess that one was worth something. Quite rare! Guess that means you’ll never see it again! LOL
>I just bought a book about the medical history of my city.
That sounds incredibly boring.
Once again, OP was a gay.
post that mofo then
I’m extremely paranoid about doxxing myself. I know it sounds silly but I’m afraid if I post it someone will find my house, send pizzas to it, then axe murder me and me family
This can happen even if you don't post anything on the internet
If it makes you feel better I got this book to because I thought the drawing was nice. The page before the first page is what got me to buy it.
Mine is the 1976 small version though so it doesn’t have all the stories I assume. It doesn’t matter I’ll just look at the pictures anyway.
I found a signed and personalized Rush Limbaugh book for $2.
Nice
Cool looking cover, had to check it out, smells like cigarettes and is annotated to high hell. I'll get into it this evening.
Pretty happy to find this today. I drove about an hour away to visit family and while they went to church I went to a cafe that's attached to a book store where I found this hardcover, illustrated edition of Resurrection for $8.

looks kino
These fritz eichenberg engravings are why I started to collect heritage and limited editions club books. The quality of the books is exceptional, but some are hard to find. He made his big break with Dostoyevsky but his Bronte is also fantastic stuff.
You can also buy signed editions and art books from him for far less than you would imagine. We got the Bronte collection, Wurthering and JE, for $30 signed.
I actively seek out these kinds of books, its like you can have a dialouge with another in your head as you read the book

We don't buy books.
Cribbage.
Where can I find some interesting cheap books in my country? I'm from Poland and the only thing on flea market they sell are fricking potatoes.
I wish I lived in globohome countries like UK or US where people from all over the world are so that I could find interesting things in many languages
Don’t really find much international stuff at flea markets but there are grocery shops and such. Like Arab and Chinese ones. Foods, clothes and trinkets. Don’t think I’ve found much books though
I like when you buy a used book, usually philosophical or ancient history, and you bring it home and some schizo wrote notes on every paige and hilighted or underlined half the text like it was a bible study. I got another one last week ill decipher and giggle at tommorow.
My only book like that is Confessions. Marked up with three different colors of highlighter plus underlining and lots of notes in the margins. Notable notes include "God = BFF" and "Augustine = 2 cool 4 school"
I bought a newish everyman's crime and punishment for 50 cents, that was used by a high school girl, and has copious notes on nearly every page. The endpaper has a note from her teacher giving her a 50/50 for properly analyzing rhetorical strategies used in the text.
This is why private school kids do so well
I got the complete works of Charles dickens in hardback for £20, I was happy with that
