How much?

I like reading books and so is my sister. She's the one who buys all the books and I'll just have to borrow. Good thing for me because I dont have to buy all those books. They could really get very expensive, you know. =)

i hardly ever buy books and when i do, i get them from a thrift store or a garage sale. books are pretty expensive here in canada and i get my books from the library!!

My expenditure on books has steadily increased but probably not as a percentage to my income. Books cost between 200 Rs to 1000-1500 rs. In the last 8 months i have almost purchased on a monthly basis.

The average book costs £7.99. If it is hardback though, I've seen books retail for as much as £30 When looking for books, I usually check out charity shops and such to look for second-hand bargains. You can find a lot of literature gems at really cheap rates, as little as 10 pence even

I only spend 50 cents. I'm kidding :))

500 pesos, I am so cheap. But then, I prefer those books that are witty,but has something to learn on. Something that you just won't read to understand. A book that helps your mind to read between the lines.

I spend far to much on books. I'm a compulsive book buyer and I can't walk past a second hand book shop without walking in. If I go in, I'll always come out with at least one book and more usually three or four. My house looks like a library.

Well, I usually buy books that are upto 500 Rs (about 10$). If a book is high priced, I usually make a Xeroxed version of the book. It is black-and-white but it saves considerable amount of money. I am a student and I buy upto 4-5 books each semester. Can be less but not more at times. Didn't buy any book this semester. I download free eBooks often that does the job.

Hello, I do want to spend more on books, though I spend nearly half of my current earning in books. As I am still a student and as I am an avid reader myself, I often buy books. When it doesn't fit my budget I look for an older edition, but buying seems to be an addiction in itself. Sometimes when I am in dire need but the book is out of print, then I consider downloading an Ebook instead. I usually buy engineering books but I also have a fascination for other kinds of books, literature, especially non fiction. Books here didn't cost much until recently. The government has put taxes in publication, thats what I've heard. Books have become costlier. I don't go to book fair as I think costs are unfair there. Lolzzz Take care God bless you

As a saving freak, I try to save my money and it is true that I am stingy at times, though I do not earn and can spend my father's money! Okay, I spend about 1000 Rupees a year in books as I am a member of a library that updates its books regularly and I also download the e books!

For me, i usually buy books during a book sale here in the philippines but i also read a lot from ebooks since i really love reading. I also installed an application on my phone that lets me read books while im outside the house or while in the mall since it's in my phone. It's really handy especially when you're waiting for someone or you're passing some time alone and want some quiet time outside the house and you don't have a book with you :)
