Okay, okay, I know! You’re not reading as many physical books as you used to because you’re reading the digital versions or just getting the stuff you want from the tons of free or low cost information available on line.
But, c’mon. Admit it! There’s nothing like holding a real book in your hands and slowly turning over the pages as you read it (or hitting your nose as you fall asleep!). Beats squinting at a screen.
Maybe you’re not buying books because they cost a lot more than the digital versions and, if that’s the case, then I have an answer for you.
Buy remaindered books. Wikipedia tells us that “Remaindered books or remainders are printed books that are no longer selling well and whose remaining unsold copies are liquidated by the publisher at greatly reduced prices.” It means you can buy great books for a fraction of their normal cost.
And the remaindered book specialist in Australia is Clouston & Hall in Canberra. I’ve been using and recommending them for years. Go have a look at their latest catalogue and spend some money on books, real books.
