I love AbeBooks bc you can absolutely tell who is trying to rip you off
#10 bucks for good condition but 120 for VERY good condition#m&m books u good? have u looked at other listings for this product?#text post#i looked up this book in particular bc i'm watching a youtube video where someone shows this particular edition#they said it's the oldest book they own and internally my competitive ass was like 'i bet i own older books than that 😤😤'#and i do. i own a couple books that are before 1891. a small handful#some of them i bought online but some i've stumbled upon in antique stores#if you are looking for old books (not one in particular but just interested in antiquities) i'd say go to an antique store#you will stumble upon some really interesting things and forgotten gems#and probably at not-unreasonable prices#never ever let someone on the internet convince you that just bc something is old it needs to be expensive#some of these things are straight up just not 'rare'#you might not stumble across them everywhere you go but in the age of the online marketplace#it is very easy to find many many copies of any old book u want. unless it had an extremely small print run#if you're looking for something of academic interest especially. ppl are gonna keep an old hamlet floating around#especially if it's not like a mass market paperback#many other sorts of books might fall into obscurity but you'll find that shit at antique stores too
