Zetan Basically, my first copy was this one. It was nice, and hardcover, but kinda bulky. Here's a picture of it without that sleve over it, which is how you'll find mine, still in my room: http://img99.echo.cx/img99/1993/book3jp.jpgThen I saw this one in a store for.. I forget, exactly, but somewhere in the range of 10-15 bucks. It was smaller than my other copy: http://img99.echo.cx/img99/8268/book0035lb.jpgNot to mention being leatherbound, with gold trim, and one of those nifty built-in bookmarks. Here's anther really cool picture I took of it: Http://img99.echo.cx/img99/8482/book0010ce.jpg (It was a combination of the white surface and the flash that made it do that, the book didn't actually glow sweatdrop ) So you can see why, even though I still have that bulkier copy (which is the one they're currently producting) I'd really like another copy of the nice leatherbound one. If I can find it again in a bookstore, I will buy it, and therefore have purchased 3 copies of the book. Not to mention, again, the author is dead, and so not benefiting from it being purchased anyway. He really probably wouldn't mind you downloading his work, epsecially at this point. So I really wouldn't worry about downloading it once to read it then deleting it again. Or just borrowing it from a library. Edited by: Zetan. Reason: Removed pictures so quote not as big.

maggie_mae i'm thinking perhaps i should go to walden books to buy the second copy of that one you found. or maybe we'll go to barnes and noble tonite anyways because i love books. For all to know: I did find a copy of the leather bound edition for, like, $12 at Walden Books. That's where I found it the first time I bought it (for about the same price, as I recall) so that's probably the easiest place to find it, if you have one nearby. *inhales deeply with the book under his nose* Mmm... fresh leather book.

Whoo! HitchHickers Guide! I have the bible edition!
Has anyone else read Salmon of Doubt? Theres a great section in there about how he doesn't care if you download his book, seeing as how you can't stop at one, will read all 6 books of the trilogy, and then buy a copy for your friend who doesn't believe in downloading books.

Hehe.. that does sound like him. I got that book from a library once... didn't get a chance to finish it, but enjoyed what I read.

Zetan maggie_mae it's not such a long story, nuv. i lost it. somehow. somewhere. i like to think that the book found its way to someone who needed it more than either of us. 3nodding Well, it's a longer story about why I had two in the first place, and why I want another despite still having one copy that isn't lost.

Zetan Koukon_Tenshi Well, usually I see it as the author put a lot of work into the book, and then you are just taking a copy of it.
Another copy? @.@ Musical artists put a hell of a lot of work into their music, but you said you have no problem with downloading that. What's the difference?
Edit: I value books more than music like people who prefer emeralds over diamonds, personal value.

Salmon of Doubt was the folder he kept random short tidbits, not really stories... He had 1 1/2 pages on the proper making of tea... a rather large bit on hicking up a mountain in a blue rhino suite... Really random stuff. In my opinion, its worth picking up.
