I've been wanting this one for awhile. Can't wait 'til school's over so I can actually read it.
It's a lovely hardcover with dust jacket (although the dust jacket is a bit worn).
 
I went to the library and they sold new hardcovers for $1.50 and paperbacks for $0.50.
So I got:

Hal McDonald - The Anatomist (I had this one one my wishlist)
Jonathan Kellerman - Obsession
Stephen J. Cannell - The Devil's Workshop
Lisa Scottoline - Daddy's Girl and
Christine Feehan - Dark Possession

I just bought some cheaper books because they were flawed.
And one books I have to review so I get it for free:
Sam Savage: Firmin. Ein Rattenleben
 
Sorry, I found that in the online dictionnary. I wanted to say that the book has not the best quality and so they sell it for less than the purchasing price.
 
Ah okay, no they were just called flawed, but actually they didn't have any defects. They just had a stamp saying "Mängelexemplar" (what I found means flawed). I think they're just books that can't be sold because no one is interested in them.
 
Hope so. If books are very cheap I tend to buy every book that looks a bit nice. When I'm at home I see that most books are bad bargain ;)
Currently I'm reading a book by Barbara Bradford, one I bought for €2.50, seems nice but nothing special.
