There’s nothing like a good second hand book. Many books, especially children’s books, have been changed for political correctness. Such a shame in my opinion. I’m collecting old Enid Blyton books at the moment, a blast from on my childhood.Jack King wrote: ↑01 Mar 2023, 05:58 For ease I prefer kindle/eBook. That said I find it easier to go into a book shop and click through books and look at covers to find a new book or series. My preference is definitely for paperback, smaller lighter easier to use however I have started shopping around old and second hand book shops for first edition Star Wars books.
Paperback or Hardcover?

I’m guessing from your name you’re UK/Wales based? I know Roald Dahl books has been in the news recently about changes to his books. At least now they are going to have both the original and edited version for sale.Gwen Johnson wrote: ↑11 Mar 2023, 01:59There’s nothing like a good second hand book.

And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price
Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare

However, if I'm going to collect a series that I really like or if it is one of those huge books like Eragon, then I opt for hardcover.
