The non-reader ordered the books kid#1 needs for school. He ordered second hand books.
I'm absolutely not opposed to second hand books, but those look like fourth hand. I'm certain the kid won't touch the one with the tea/coffee stains. I suppose we'll visit the bookshop on Monday.

TrishB I would not touch the tea stains either! I buy a lot of second hand and have only had a couple that I‘ve given away to charity shops. 2y
MicheleinPhilly Sigh. It‘s amazing what some sellers think is acceptable as far as the condition goes. 🙄 2y
julesG @MicheleinPhilly @TrishB The non-reader said they were advertised as 'in very good condition'. Well, I disagree. We're getting new books tomorrow. (which both kids are looking forward to, because we'll be entering a bookshop to actually buy something instead of just browsing) [should I mention that there's an edition of the Woyzeck book for €1.60? no need to get a 2nd hand copy 🙄🙄🙄] 2y

marleed Dang! I remember well the smell and feel of a brand new book in my own little hands as a kid. I loved it, and I‘m sure it was a big part of my love of books. Today I own some very well worn books but the difference is I‘m all grown up and appreciate the history behind the abuse ;) 2y
